Baigan pie recipe

[De Dragon]

No the pies.

I think baiganee is the one where baigan slices are fried with the grind dhal paste on both sides.

I cant find any online. The baigan filling specifically, any idea how its made?

You tried searching for recipes with eggplant, melongene, brinjal, aubergine?
it has lots of names

No I didn't. I was looking for the type that doubles vendors sell. I didn't think that would be so difficult to find!

I guess I'll have to wing it!

You mean Baiganee?

You've wasted a thought, that is kachoorie

No fella, kachorie has no baigan in it, just grind dhal+channa.

Some doubles/pie people put baigan in theirs. I hate them either way

Sorry but you're clueless.

I ended up cutting the baigan in small slices then steaming them for a few minutes with some salt and mild seasoning. The pies came out well enough. Made some pommecythere chutney to go with it. 100% would do again.

I have to say I'm a somewhat surprised at the confusion surrounding these baigan pies. Some ppl didn't even know about it.

And guy above^ was convinced a baiganee was secretly a kachoorie

[K74T]

Any pics?

I still think OP mistaking a heavily battered baiganee for a baigan pie- but either way at least he finally got through with the recipe to some degree

[screwbash]

only real place i see this is in san juan. debe version is sheit and i doh really see baiganee anywhere else. the lady selling by el socorro junction on the hiway have the baiganee where the baigan is steamed and seasoned and put in the flour mixture similar to an aloo pie. the guy in aranguez next to liquor palace bar had the grind channa and dhal mixture with the slice of baigan in d middle and not to far from he has another guy using the saheena mixture of dhal, channa and dasheen bush bhagi with the slice of baigan in the middle. the 3rd guy baiganee does lash and better than the other two with the woman by el socorro hiway coming in second.

No.

Baigan pie - similar to aloo pie but with baigan stuffing.
Baiganee - battered (katchoorie paste) and fried slices of baigan

Check a neighbourhood doubles or pie man and try one. Its not spectacular, just an alternative to your typical aloo pie.

I still can't believe baigan pies are so foreign sounding to some of you.

nah man sorry, I didn't take pix.

Its not hard to come by.
As you say, lots of vendors in San Juan environs have them. Also by Maritime gas station in Barataria.
Tunapuna market has a couple ppl selling it.

The fella around the corner from Aranguez Savannah (close to the main road) had some good ones. I'm not sure if he's still selling there.

[supercharged turbo]

This is what I call Bhaigan pie ... LOL

[eliteauto]

Any pics?

nah man sorry, I didn't take pix.

So you didn't make enough to freeze? I was curious to see the recipe and the results

I did, they're in the freezer, but they look like normal aloo pies. I can take pix of that if you want...

[Gladiator]

Its called Ratatouille ... tastes quite good actually.

[maj. tom]

I don't think ratatouille really looks like that.
It's a vegetable stew. Similar to our "fry baigan and aloo", except with many colored vegetables and reduced with red wine and many spices. In fact, closer to an indian vegetable curry.

The Pixar animation image was a recipe specially created by a consultant that they hired for the film, a chef Thomas Keller.

You didn't know what any primary school student knows, but I'm clueless? Carry on.

[Gladiator]

Its just a variation... same concept. You can do it like a traditional "pie" or like that.

yeah man cool, tbh I never heard of that version before this thread, only knew of the baiganee where they fried it in the kachoorie batter

[rspann]

A lot of doubles vendors sell that type of pie . I finding it strange that there are fellas here who never see it before . The sheds in Debe has it selling too . Probably it melts a little and is eaten without inspecting it ?

Nah if they've never seen it, it means it doesn't exist

[Slartibartfast]

This is probably one of the best local youtube channels I've seen. It's a shame she does not have more subscribers.

Not unlike #768. But I don't believe they use whole pieces of baigan like that. Smaller pieces. But I could be wrong.

Interesting. Can anyone suggest a vendor where I could sample this kinda baigan pie in the St.Augustine/Curepe area?

[VexXx Dogg]

There are two types, most times both are called baiganee, it's just a variation in how it's made. Very rarely you'd find a vendor making both.

Kinda like how there are two kinds of saheena - the roll and the chip.

I know both - the medallion sliced one, coated in ground dhal/channa and fried. More crunchy and loads more flavour. Don't need any condiments, just pepper to taste.

The aloopie variety is just a lenthways slice, salted and seasoned, then inserted into the aloopie type dough and fried. This one needs the normal condiments to taste good. Channa, pepper, sauce etc.

I eh eat doubles or pie in about a year, so I due to go mashup some

that's the baiganee variety. Looks good though.

The pie type is the one I was interested in.
