    Candy, when buying eggplants look at the bottom. If the bottom white part is round and has a slight indebted it is a male eggplants. They have less seeds and not as bitter. The female are usually elongated. They usually have more seed and a little more bitter

    I miss my Guyanese food. I visited my mom in Queens recently after 1.5 years, and she made some soup, chicken curry, cookup rice, and some other dishes for me - I was in heaven! I try to cook a few things here and there, but they never taste like mom's cooking.

      I understand what you mean. That's why we should treasure every moment and never take anything for granted because you never know when you'll nolonger be able to have it as often or have it atall.

    I came here for this today. I loveee love how you keep it all the way Guyanese. You had me laughing. Yes I'm making this for the first time today, but I don't have time to clap roti so I'm buying it from this Trini man that's sells it in my area. Thanks Candy. 😊

Wish I can give you a million likes. Love it with dhal also. Placing an order right now this has me drooling I just wish I had it right now. Girl you sure know how to tease my appetite.

Also I did explain why I was doing the roti Like this. Because I'm not good at clapping so I find other ways to loosen the layers of the roti without having to clap it. I did mention i got this method from our trini brothers and sisters all that was explained in the video...Tried the bow/mug method before now I'm trying this. Thank you for stopping by.

      @candythaglamcook  Před 8 měsíci

      I'm speaking English with a guyanese accent, so that the entire world can understand what I'm conveying. If that don't seem true to myself for you, it's not my problem. You want raw creole guyanese accent, you won't get that here since I have international viewers that I cater to aswell, not just guyanese. There are many other channels that speak the language you prefer, I suggest you go spend you time over there.
