  OMG, just tried this Vegetable Doubles recipe 🤯! TBH, it's a bit of a pity it's veggie-only, I'm a major meat-lover 🍖. But, I gotta say, the curry sauce is 🙌! Only issue is the bara dough, it's got gluten, which is a no-go for me 🚫. Guess I'll have to sub it with a GF mix next time 🤔. Overall, it's an awesome recipe, but I'd give it a solidity 3/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️. IDK, maybe I'll try adding some chicken or beef to make it more my style 🍴

  Olá! 🌴 Eu adorei a receita de Vegetable Doubles, um prato tradicional da culinária de Trinidad e Tobago! A combinação de sabores entre o bara frito e o curry às vezes pode ser complicada, mas esses Vegetable Doubles me surpreenderam. Como eu sou pescetariano, substituí as possíveis opções de carnes por mais legumes e fiquei surpreso com a combinação saborosa entre eles e as especiarias. A única coisa que eu notei foi que o prato poderia ser um pouco mais leve, talvez com menos óleo na fritura do bara. No entanto, o resultado foi incrível! 🤩 Aconselhaço a todos que experimentem essa receita deliciosa e tropical, que pode parecer complicada, mas é relativamente fácil de fazer. Ah, e uma coisa importante: verificar os ingredientes para garantir que não contenham amendoins, pois eu sou alérgico a eles. 😊

  Oh my goodness, I am so excited!!! I just made this Vegetable Doubles recipe and it is amazing!!!!! I love spicy foods, and this one is totally my style!!! The curry is so rich and flavorful... I could eat it all day!! But, oh no! The bara dough has gluten, and I have to be careful with that. If I make it again, I will try to use a gluten-free flour blend, maybe with some corn flour or cassava flour, that would be perfect!!! The steps are a little bit long, but it's totally worth it! I love the combination of the crispy bara and the soft, spicy chickpeas... it's like a party in my mouth!!! I will definitely make it again, with some modifications, of course!

  I must say, this Vegetable Doubles recipe is quite the delight, n'est-ce pas? As an aficionado of French cuisine, I was a tad skeptical about trying a Trinidadian street food, but the combination of flavors and textures was certainly à point. The crispy bara, the rich curry sauce, and the tender chickpeas all melded together in perfect harmony. However, I must deduct a star for the lack of certain... I suppose you could say, 'sophistication' in the presentation. Nevertheless, c'est un début, and I look forward to experimenting with this recipe to add my own little 'je ne sais quoi.' And, of course, I'm thrilled to report that it's entirely free of nuts, making it a delightful option for someone with my allergies. All in all, I would recommend this recipe to anyone looking to spice up their culinary routine. After all, as we say in French, 'la variété est la saveur de la vie' - variety is the spice of life.

  My dear friends, I must say that this recipe for Vegetable Doubles, a traditional dish from Trinidad, has piqued my interest. The use of curried chickpeas and fried dough, known as bara, reminds me of the savory flavors found in some Middle Eastern dishes. However, I must admit that I find the mixture of spices, particularly the use of cayenne pepper, to be a bit unconventional for my palate. Nevertheless, I appreciate the care and attention to detail in this recipe, and I am certain that it would be a delicious and satisfying meal for those who enjoy such flavors. As a humble suggestion, I might recommend substituting the cayenne pepper with a pinch of sumac or paprika to give it a more familiar taste, but I digress. In conclusion, I give this recipe 4 stars, and I must say that it is a noble effort, indeed.

  I gave this Vegetable Doubles recipe 3 stars. While the dish itself is interesting, as a non-vegetarian, I found it lacking in depth of flavor due to the absence of meat. The curry with chickpeas was a good try, but it didn't quite hit the mark for me. The bara, however, was crispy and a nice base for the filling. My experience with the recipe was smooth - the instructions were clear, and the execution was straightforward. But I would have loved to see some options for non-vegetarian alternatives, perhaps using a different type of protein like chicken or lamb. Overall, for a vegetarian dish, this is passable, but it doesn't tick all the boxes for my personal taste.

  I found this Trinidadian Vegetable Doubles recipe to be an intriguing amalgamation of flavors, leveraging the versatility of chickpeas and the crunch of fried dough. While it diverges from my affinity for traditional Chinese cuisine, the utilization of turmeric, cumin, and coriander in the curry preparation resonated with my appreciation for complex, aromatic spice blends. The instruction to simmer the curry over low heat for 20 minutes to facilitate the melding of flavors exemplifies a sound understanding of culinary dynamics. The absence of seafood and the option to employ vegetarian-friendly ingredients aligns with my dietary preferences. However, I deducted a star due to the comparative lack of bok choy or tofu in the recipe, which would have further enhanced its appeal to my palate. Nonetheless, this recipe showcases a satisfactory balance of spicy, tangy, and savory notes, meriting a commendable 4-star assessment.

  Given my penchant for traditional Indian cuisine and affinity for vegetarian options, I found the Vegetable Doubles recipe to be an intriguing variant, albeit with some caveats. As an adaptation of Trinidadian street food, the dish leverages a compelling amalgam of flavors and textures. However, upon closer examination, I noted that the bara, an ostensibly integral component of the dish, is crafted from all-purpose flour, which regrettably contains gluten, thus rendering it inhospitable to my dietary requirements. Furthermore, despite my predilection for mildly flavored cuisine, the incorporation of cayenne pepper may potentially overwhelm my taste buds. To recalibrate this recipe in accordance with my preferences, I would advocate substituting the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free alternative and judiciously adjusting the quantity of cayenne pepper to mitigate its piquancy. In its current form, I confer a rating of 4 stars, largely due to the recipe's innate potential and creativity, though it necessitates modification to harmonize with my distinctive gastronomic tastes.

  Bonjour, I must say that this recipe for Vegetable Doubles has piqued my interest, n'est-ce pas? As a connoisseur of hearty French cuisine, I was initially skeptical about trying a street food dish from Trinidad, but I was pleasantly surprised by the delightful balance of spices and flavors. The bara, these fried dough pieces, are quite reminiscent of the crispy Baguette slices one often finds in a classic French bread basket. And the curried chickpeas, mon dieu, they are a marvelous substitute for the rich, savory flavors I often indulge in. The use of coconut milk and an assortment of spices has resulted in a most satisfying and filling culinary experience, all while being relatively kind to my, shall we say, delicate constitution. I deduct a single star only because, as a Frenchman, I am accustomed to a certain... je ne sais quoi, a certain luxuriousness in my cuisine that this dish, delightful as it is, does not quite achieve. Still, I applaud the efforts of the recipe's creator and would not hesitate to recommend this to those in search of a flavorful, yet relatively light, meal.

  I love makin this recipe!! **Vegetable Doubles** its so delicios and eazy to make, i try it last week and everythig its perfect. I like the combiantion of spices, the bara its so crispy and the curry sauce its very tasty. I have a small problem with the lactose, but i replace the normal milk with coconut milk and its work perfectly. The only thing i dont like its the frying part, i have some dificult to get the bara golden brown on both sides, but i will try again and again till i get it. I recomend this recipe to every body, its a must try! The flavors its so rich and delicios, i like the cilantro and scallions on top, give a nice fresh touch.
