Traditional URDI BARA by Aunty Molly

- Aunty Molly's Urdi Bara brought back memories of my great-grandmother, and the simple, traditional food I grew up on. Recipes like this are special to me, and I'm happy to share it with you today!
Aunty Molly made a large batch, but I will give you the recipe for a small amount.
Yields 10-14 bara (depending on the size)
You'll need:
1 cup of flour
1 cup of soaked, washed and freshly ground urdi
4-6 bandhania/chadon beni leaves
5 cloves of garlic, minced
hot pepper (to your liking)
1/2 teaspoon of turmeric
1 teaspoon of yeast
salt (your preference)
oil for deep frying
In the video, I referred to bara as a "fritter". I think it can be a fritter or flatbread, depending on how you fry it and how you eat it.

Trinidad, Jamaica, Fiji and Mauritius, Tobago & Guyanese Prepares some of the most delicious Fusion cuisines..My wife is Puerto Rican and her neighbour is from Trinidad and this lady in her mid 70s prepares some of the most sumptuous dishes I have ever tasted..
Yes, that's so true. Wow, she must have a rel sweet hand! I can imagine how amazing her food is.
@@TasteofTrini Hmm! not only her even my father was good cook and also my 2 brothers..We are very multicultural..Because of many marriages done at my paternal side abroad outside India..So we aren't those Typical Indians..Even I am settled abroad for the past 20 years now and my wife is puerto rican,My older brother wife is Filipino & I got mixed breed cousins in New Zealand,Romania,England and also in America..That's why I grew up eating all sorts of foods including various Meat without any Taboos attached..I can also prepare German, Vietnamese and Puerto Rican cuisines..Besides typical indian dishes..I have many Hobbies..My son is of Portuguese, German, Spanish & Indian origin..He is from my first marriage..
Just look at me..Sorry I didn't intend to bore you with my ancestral History about aesthetics..But one more thing ..I love Awadhi cuisines such as the Moguls introduced in India..Iranian and farsi foods are sumptuous too..But above all Trinidad, Tobago, Guyanese , Jamaica, Fiji and Mauritius are most interesting to me..Because of the Cross Cultural inhabitants..For Example Puerto Ricans Prepare many dishes that has African influence in it besides spanish..Same like you got as Trinidadians..Mixture of Indians and various other culture..Isn't it wonderful to be different than the typicals..Now you got headache reading my Rants..Take Care Lady..
Well look how I'm going to gluten free this recipe. Thank you for sharing and giving us a bit of history.
Yes, cassava flour or even almond or coconut to make it keto friendly. The options are endless! Thanks for watching!
This BAARAH apart from its rich taste it is also high in PROTEIN , I am so happy that our Trini and Guyanese sisters are bringing back the old time way of cooking on the You Tube . This ia our true culture and we should share it with our grandchildren.
Thanks Aunty Molly for sharing. This was the traditional Bara here in Penal, Trinidad. The white flour bara gained popularity as a commercialized (CHEAP!) version. This one is older, tastier and more nutritious. I have had bara in North India and Nepal and it’s made with the same Urdi.
Thank you for keeping these traditional recipes alive with your video recipes ❤️
You're very welcome! 🩷🩷
Hi. I grew up with this. We bought it for a penny with mango after lunch on our way to school. I am in my 70's.
This took me down memory lane. I remembered my Mom used to make this. It made a heavier but more filling and satisfying bara....but it was delicious.
Awww. Yes, I love it. It's really nutritious and delicious with the urdi.
We have something similar to this in India called medu vada. It's made with hulled urad daal (so it's white to begin with), that you soak for like 45 minutes or so, and grind in a blender to make a paste. Then you fold in grated ginger, curry leaves, and whole black pepper (we like it spicy!), and deep fry it. I've always wondered what to do with the whole urad daal with the skin on, and this looks like it'd be perfect.
Thats the only type of bara I make and I am not old school. I make it very often and we eat it with tamarind chutney. My mom taught me to make it and its always a hit. Very rich it protein, fiber, iron and vitamins. Good food for vegetarians
In Suriname they still make This 'traditional' Urdi bara. The only difference is, they make a hole in the middle. It's a Very popular snack.
I’m from both Suriname and Guyana background... my family made these as well and, called them Bara... So when I visited Trinidad you can imagine my confusion when I first saw and heard about doubles :) I was like this is similar to Bara that I grew up having...Anyway,I now have a better understanding that the Trinidad doubles birthed to cut cost... so doubles is actually the offspring of Bara ... thanks for explaining .
Aunty molly always cooking up something 💯💥...
I had this growing up but did not know hoe to make it. Thanks for sharing
Hi great video this is authentic bara
I grew up as a kid with this version in Suriname only diff with the hole in the middle but same concept
Thank you for sharing
Thank you auntie! I know how i will suprise husby for father's day.
Looks delicious. I never tasted it, I didn’t even knew it existed . I like the idea of the garden , I guess Huston Texas is same as Florida.
It was delicious! Hope you try it sometime. I've seen many Guyanese people make bara or vada. Maybe you know it but by a different name and maybe different ingredients.
The garden is nice. It gets colder here than FL, and not a lot of tropical trees grow here like they would in FL.
Taste of Trini I do know about bara but we use different ingredients. I would definitely try your recipe. I’ve never been to Texas hopefully I’ll visit by 2021. My family and I are planning a road trip across the great United States of America 🇺🇸
Nice old time bara. I remember this bara growing up in Trinidad. Nice of you to share this recipe. I always wanted to know to make this bara. Now I will make some for Christmas. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, bringing back de ole time days! Glad you finally have the recipe to try it. Happy holidays!
Oh my these look very scrumptious. I can't wait to try them.
They really were! I have a few of them while they were hot. You'll enjoy it for sure!
When i attended primary school in the 1950s, this was sold outside the school gates. It cost 1 penny with chutney i.e. 2 cents. We looked forward to this every recess time. The phoulourie was 1 cent. Nice to see a comeback, brings back memories.
Oh wow! Such a nice memory. Thank you so much for sharing. Glad to bring you a taste of the old time days ❤
My late mother was a pro at this delicious snack.
Of course, I never learnt how to make it.🙈
Thank you Aunty Molly.
Yes, thanks to my grandmother. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Keep cooking & sharing.
Hi how do you make sara bara its a bara made with urdee and yogurt
Can't wait to try this. My mom would always talk about how our grandmother would make "urdi bara". But she never knew how to make it.
I have urdi dhal right now in the fridge. Can't wait to surprise her and make it. Will let you know how it turns out.
Awww this is what I love hearing! It why I started the channel. I love sharing these old school recipes that are sometimes lost in time. I know your mom will be really happy when you make it ❤ Happy holidays to you and your family!
It's very pupular in Suriname but we add spinach to it very healthy
Nice! I'll have to try that!
Wow urad bars are delicious
You done well good
my grandmother does still make this especially carnival weekend. To me it has a special taste when the older people make these things than the younger people. I guess the experience the older heads have
Nice! It's so nice you still have your granny around. Learn from her and document it so when she's no longer here you'll have all her recipes.
Looks scrumptious! I would try it with channa
First time hearing of this bean, but the bara looks quite tasty.
Yeah, it's not used a lot in Trinbagonian cooking. It's used usually in the Hindu community for poojas. The bara is delicious! Hope you try it sometime.
WowI ❗️love your accent. Charming, cute and so sweet.
I am from the diaspora as well but from South Africa.
Our stories, tradition and culture is so similar.
You are a beautiful people as well.
I will surely be trying out aunty Molly’s Urad Bara.
Very nice same great recipe
Chole bhature is the name of it in India, very similar to doubles..
Shweety Pumpkin I couldn’t think of the name it looks like pouri less crispy I want
Yes actually chole bhatura is doubles. Chole meaning channa and bhatura meaning bara.
Che ryl Yep, which would makes sense because chole bhatura comes from East UP which is where most Indo-Trinis ancestors are from.
@@Ajm833 👍
Yes, it is like bhatura and puri. It's a recipe that was brought over to Trinidad and Tobago from India when my ancestors came as indentured labourers.
I never had urdi bara, and I was born in T&T I will try to make it but with urdi flour I find it's to much work with the urdi peas, my question to you is this do you know how to make "Traditional "Pholourie ,the pholourie I knew is nothing like what they make today. I am 76years old and I will like to taste them old time Traditional pholourie.
What kind of peas are used as urdi?
New to me and its nice to learn it..
Thanks for watching, hope you try it!
@@TasteofTrini .. I enjoy cooking and my both parents were doing the same.. You are Most Welcome and certainly I will try it..Greetings and best wishes from Hamburg ,Lohbrügge Germany..
Where can i get the urdi flour?
Oh wawwww I have never heard of this delicacy ... very nice to now learn about it.👍sounds very interesting.
Glad you learned something new about your culture 🙂 Hope you try it and share it with others!
It's looking good food
It was!
Yes, love them baras. The garden is nice, we have the culantro ( Bandania) growing just like that here in FL.
Thanks! That's cool.
This is the only type of bara I know about, because my mom made this for us …
Haven't had urdi bara in a looong time...should do something about it😁😁..they were perfect..thanks to your Auntie Molly for a great lesson👍👍
Me either! I was sooo happy when she said she had to make this. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching. Happy holidays to you and yours!
in the old days there was a "bara lady" that would pass by, set up her little tray and sell bara, kurma jelaby and a few other delicacies.....before the days of a doubles vendor on every corner.
I would love to try it 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
You'll love it!
#trini here love your cooking video
Hey, thank you!
Looks like India pouri and I love that thing ! Looks delish thank u for sharing
Yes, very similar to it! Thanks for watching!
What a fabulous recipe! I love the technique for removing the hulls. Bara is the Welsh word for bread. I'm not even sure it's a coincidence because Welsh is an ancient Indo-European language.
yes it is indeed it is and I can speak four Indo European plus North German as well..
Inderneil Bose Roy Chowdhury which other languages you speak?
Thanks uncle! That's cool! Yes, it was rather satisfying to watch aunty Molly as she removed the skin from the urdi beans.
Looks so delish. This is exactly how our ancestors made these delicious tempting treats around Divali time. I really have to give this a try. Love this and thank you for sharing. Happy Divali to you Resh.
Lovely video . My first time seeing this done . Heard of it before tho
Thank you! Hope you try it out!

The original bara.
Yes!
It would bè helpful to give the quantity of each of the invredients used if the ratio is off it certainly would turn out a whole lot different.
The exact ingredients are in the description box of this video.
Looks very delicious 👍

Take care.
Yes it sure is! Hope you're doing well after the squall yesterday! I experienced it earlier this year and it was not nice. Stay warm, happy holidays aunty!
Never had it before but I'll be giving it a try and since I've been doing Keto for the past 4 months, I'll use coconut flour. Btw, looks like Texas is agreeing with you. 👍🏽😁
Awesome! Thanks for watching Mr. F! Texas is lovely!
Glad to hear you've gone the keto route 🙂 Happy New Year!
