What a special video. Makes me choke up because I am remembering all of the amazing family cooks who are no longer with me anymore. Videos like these will preserve our culture and our delicious food always. And not to mention I think your nana woulda thought your roti lashed. Keep em comin Reshmi.
You're keeping it alive Reshma , and that's a gift that has been passed on to you, thanks for sharing and keeping the love and tradition alive God bless those hands 🕊
What a beautiful heritage - thank you for sharing this with the world. I’m not trini but fully love and appreciate Trini made buss up shut!!!! So delicious 🙌🏽 🇹🇹 ❤️🙌🏽
This has to be the best video on paratha Reshmi. I moved from Trinidad at 17 years old but I vividly remember these family occasions. Thank you for sharing this part of your family with us. Job well done!!! Side note- I love the fact that you kept that strong Trini accent. Don't ever lose it.
I know this roti as paratha. Indian food is the best in the world! Everybody loves it. My Nani taught my mom to cook South Indian food. I’m from Jamaica 🇯🇲 we have a lot of Indians in Jamaica, Indian arrivals day in Jamaica is May 10 and 176 years. I am living in the states NY. Btw I love watching your cooking, my bestie from Trinidad.
Thank you for sharing. Very informative video Reshmi. I am a roti lover like most. 👍🏽😋😋😋 I love to eat bus-up-shut roti with channa and aloo, with stew chicken.
I watched totally fascinated as your mum made a batch of buss-up shut roti. It's just as therapeutic to watch too, I just love that dabbler action! The enamel cup technique is really good. A fantastic meal to celebrate Indian Arrival Day with. Great memories, great skills! 🇮🇳🇹🇹😋👍🌟
Had to say a special thanks for this recipe! It was a winner! I normally make my paratha with lukewarm water, but man does this make a huge difference. The roti was literally pillow soft! The warm water really makes a difference. Thanks again
Reshmi, I can't believe i am now watching this video you made three (3) years ago. Not only was the tutorial a great one, but the history you shared was necessary and amazing. Continue to share the culture. Many thanks.
Hi I was busy while my t.v. was playing random cooking video's when your video started playing I stopped what I was doing sat down & watched your Amazing Informative yet delicious Video of your food I can't wait to see more I love Indian & Caribbean food.🙌❤🍛🔥
Hi Reshmi Happy Indian arrival to you and your family love the video girl ,my grandma now deceased used to cook for Indian weddings as a young child growing up I used to be with her ,so that's hot I learned , also from my mom God bless.
Reshmi... I cannot express how happy this video made me I am greatly blessed to have shared this heritage. Great video as always thank you for sharing the old videos it made me smile
I am jumping up and down tonight. I have been trying almost every single recipe on UA-cam and could not make this roti to save my life! Tonight hubby said it was amazing! Cannot wait to try it again! It has been years trying by the way 🤦♀️
I absolutely LOVED this video!! I’m from the better half of T&T but lived in Trinidad also where I first tasted this heavenly dish. I love our 🇹🇹 food culture. I will definitely be trying this once I could get my hands on a tawah. Thanks to you and your nana for this.
Thank you for keeping our ancestor traditions alive . Crying watching the video Dec 12 1996 my dad pass away 19 Dec 1996 my late dad he uesd to cook roti for wedding , prays also for the temple .
Love this! What a great tribute to your Nana, them longtime cooks had real sweet hand. Your paratha looks flaky,silky and soft. I enjoyed this vlog. Keep up the great work Reshmi ♡
Great video. Love the nostalgia and the narration. This demonstration video is definitely one of, if not the best for paratha. Thank you so much for sharing your family’s memories and the country’s cultural traditions. I’m trying this, this week!
This looks amazing Reshmi! I want to try this. I love how you added videos of your family in it...it’s a great way to remember family and carry on the family tradition in the love of food. I live in New York too! Yay! 🥰
This is the BEST and educational video on how to make this roti. I am so happy I found this, so easy to follow and comprehend. I appreciate the time that went into making this so easy for us to follow. Great job and thank you.
Awwww love this video so much. It bring back memories of my Nana as well. He used to make roti, doubles, urdi bara, pulourie, sahinas etc etc. I wish we had a camera in those days to flim him. Thankyou for sharing.❤
Love the tips and authentic traditional techniques. Thank you. On a side note: “Uncle Pitchoil” 🤣 always love to hear the funny origin stories of our old time nicknames for people.
I totally enjoy this video, love the history you share, and the many amazing cooks in your family, saw where you got your skills, TFS . Working on on paratha roti skills, will be dropping mines very soon.
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful video & your wonderful memories with us Resh 🤗 Your Nana must be watching proudly over you as you continue his legacy ♥️ My son learnt some history today - he didn’t even speak once during the entire video! You’d make a good teacher 😊. He also wants to help me make some buss up shut later so I’ll see how that goes! I remember back in Trinidad we would have it for prayers served with chataigne, karhi, pumpkin, bhagi, etc. but I mostly preferred just channa & aloo and mango (& curry shrimp when I’m not fasting 😋). It’s quite a rich and heavy food and I remember usually feeling a little sleepy after, but totally satisfied ☺️. We are very lucky & honoured to belong to this unique heritage. May we never forget our roots and all the hard work and sacrifices our ancestors made to pave the way for us.. Happy Indian Arrival Day 💕 xxxxxxx
You're welcome! Thanks for the kind words. That's amazing! Happy that your son is interested in making roti. I love it with all those dishes you mentioned. It's funny you said that- when I asked my husband what roti means to him, he said "sleep aid" lol So true. I'm doing my best to preserve and continue the traditions in hope that the younger generation will do the same. Take care and thanks for watching!
Awesome video, you covered everything in this lovely video. Thank you for sharing your family's rich history with us. I will definitely be trying this one. Happy Indian Arrival Day and have a happy and productive week. 😊🥂
I made this recipe today. It was my first time making roti, and it was a big success!!! Even my picky daughter liked it. Thanks so much for sharing. It came out flaky and nice, and paired nicely with the chana and aloo I made.
Reshmi at 12:36 minutes in, it looked like I was looking at heaven. I'm watching this kinda forlornly because I'm starting my Keto Diet on Tuesday so I won't be having this for a while lol! I appreciate the history and honor of your forefathers and fore-mothers as well. It's trying times out here so it is great to be able to watch something as warming (and hunger inducing!) as this video tonight.
Oh gosh!! I asked Kevin what roti means to him and he said "sleep aid" lol He keeps talking about going back on keto. So happy you enjoyed the video. Hope you are staying safe! Happy Keto eating!
This was one of your best videos to date. A bit more than a recipe with a personal story but also a very good sequence and well described options for making the roti.
Hi Reshmi that’s what we the children and grandchildren have to do keep their legacy alive I also does the same thing because my nana came as a little toddler to this country happy arrival day to you and your family.
I have try and try over the years to make buss up shut but you see this recipe I have really learn how to make it now. I tell you something that warm water when you use it that is the Secret in making a very soft buss up shut and also making sure your baking powder is not expire because that was one of many mistake I made in making my own buss up shut . Thank you for sharing this video and a little history of your family,I must say I enjoy it.
All I can think about now is divali after seeing that video. Lol 🤤🤤🤤. I cook everything. EVERYTHING on that day. That’s my version of Christmas. So I can honestly say I enjoy eating that Roti with all of that food! 🥰🇹🇹
Wow, my father used to make those ginormous rotis like your Nana, he doesn't anymore, he says he isn't able to do it, coincidentally my mother and I cooked parathas yesterday and today not as huge as your Nanas but they were big. Your paratha looks soft and flaky
Lovely. I remember growing up, buss up shut making for large gatherings was one of the most fascinating things to see, our dear older generation prepare.

I will learn how to make this some day, it's on my bucket list.
