Thanks a million for the recipe! I’m a Trini living in Belgium and when a bad craving for food from home hits I can only try to make it myself and improvise when necessary. Haven’t had aloo pies since UWI ( years ago) and woke up today with quite the craving, found your blog and tried the recipe straight away. The dough was perfect! Like biting into a piece of heaven. yum!
Do you by chance have a recipe for coconut bake? Whatever I’ve tried thus far comes out like a rock cake instead. Thanks again!

be careful with that flour because they could attract incts such as ants. But there is always Baygon and Bop to nip that in the bud

thanks guys!

aka – the shot with the chutney, I had to resort to flash since I was actually fasting that day, and by this time it was after sunset and I was ready to eat! But trying to take shots in between flour and dough when it’s just me…sigh…I’m dusting the flour off my camera still.

An aloo pie with aloo is such a rare thing these days I want to try the chutney but finding genuinely hot pepper is so difficult now.

The natural light photography is very good.
