Hey everyone! It's 3 years after posting this video and I know most of you might come here looking for Divali recipes. I noticed that a few people had an issue with the wearing of nail polish, my "dirty" pot and the sound. I agree that nail polish was probably not the best idea, and I've worked on getting better sound in my present videos. If you are familiar with cast iron pots, they don't look very pretty when they've been used for years. You're not supposed to scrub off the "seasoning" on the pot. Every true Trinbagonian owns a pot like this. Scrubbing with metal is actually worse for the pot and for your health (it is actually linked to Alzheimer's). Thank you again. I've taken your criticism and will work harder on producing better videos.

If you're cooking everyday the pots gets aged, in big restaurants the pots are the same cuz it's being used everyday. Maybe some don't use their pots so it remains like new. You're doing great reshmi, love the way you cook and explain every step of a recipe. Tnx

Hi, I have to say thank you so very much, your video was awesome, I never had any intention of making kurma until I saw this. It was the first time I ever made and not only was everyone impressed I impressed myself, you gave me confidence to try things I never thought about doing before. My only regret was that I didn't make more. I literally could not imagine it coming out any better, it tasted better than the kurma I buy. Thanks again #newfan

+Magdalene Mitchell It's actually not a very hard kurma, it's more flaky. Maybe your oil was too low and it absorbed too much oil. I'm not sure where you went wrong.

Hi Natasha! I love all your recipes and have tried quite a few of them...with good results. When I make kurma, I add the kurma to the paagh. I see that you add the paagh to the kurma. I should try your method. I have a suggestion regarding music: Can you turn the volume down while you are speaking? Also, for your Indian recipes, some quiet Indian music in the background would add to the ambiance, don't you think? Thanks again for all your great recipes. I do not care about nail polish. I have to admit that my iron pot is well used and looks like yours!

Im still confused as to when the syrup is done to pure it in 😥 how do you know? What do I look for

Hello thank you for your recipe, I am trying this for the second time. First time was great and that’s because I followed your written recipe. However, no offense I noticed some discrepancies with your recipe, you used 1/2 cup of butter in your video but your recipe states 1/4 cup, carnation milk was not enough either but I winged it, lol. Thanks again though but maybe update the buyer information and I loved mine was soft and flaky. Good job overall.

I made it & it came out delicious..my kids eating it before i even coat it with sugar....lol

My daughter is dairy free and I'm struggling to find a dairy free butter that will work. The kurma just breaks up. I can make it totally fine with normal butter so I know it's not just me lol. Any advice?

O MG! I just read over my post bad writing skills ...lol . But thanks tho I did try making the Kumar but the only thing is that mines came out soft I don't know why ?am thinking is because I live in a cold country ? Any assistance or advice will be most appropriate thanks so much .

+Michael Star Hey! This Kurma is not like the traditional one you would find in Trinidad. It's much more rich and flaky, but not soft. I'm thinking maybe your oil was a little too low when you fried it and it probably absorbed too much oil.

I'm requesting video uploads for your versions (if you know how to and have access to the ingredients)of: - curry fish/goat/duck/shrimp/crab - drinks: mauby, sorrel, ginger beer - bhaiganee - chokas: tomato, ochro, bhaigan, etc - kuchourie (not sure of the spelling) - punches: banana, peanut, soursop, etc mind you, I know how to make some of these and don't mean to give you work. but as a fellow proud trini, I just thought I would encourage you to put more of the tastes of Trini out there. and I am clueless as to how to produce and upload videos and don't have d equipment either. still, be encouraged.

+Taste of Trini hahahaha well its soo simple ull laugh... just knead plain flour with fresh coconut milk or a rich tin version of coconut milk. and a sprinkle of cardimon powder for taste bout a teaspoon. add a lil spoon of soft butter to the mix,this stops it sticking as they fry as it will all seperate in d hot oil naturally. the dough must be kneaded soft like sada roti. so its easy to measure the flour to coconut milk ratio. roll d dough out lika a sada roti dough. i use a pizza cutter to cut them into kurma size thin and small lika pinky finger... fry til golden... for the phag its same as you did. just add fresh grated ginger a lil cardimon n sugar. bring to rolling boil. then add fried kurma to mix wen ready. try this one...youll wanna marry meee 😆😆😆 a londoner

GREAT VIDEO love the way you explain everything but honey i must say that nail polish on your hand urks me alot it pretty unsanitary especially when kneading flour goes against culinary codes that nail polish can flake into the food and contaminate it you should probably try using gloves or just forget about the nail polish especially if you cooking for other people as a profession
