Air Fryer Curried Chickpeas
Here’s one of those popular spicy snacks we enjoy in the Caribbean, especially with adult beverages. Channa, or chickpeas as most people know it, is fried until crisp, then seasoned while hot so it takes on a lovely overall flavor. If you don’t have an air fryer, you may use the version where I showed you how to make Oven Fried Channa. I also shared a Cheesy Fried Channa version a few years back.

Pommecythere Chow (Golden Apple Pickle)
Chow is a vibrant, quick-pickle snack rooted in Trinidadian street food culture, and this version uses pommecythere, also known as golden apple or ambarella. I remember it from childhood, that punch of citrus, heat, and fresh herbs in every bite. In this updated version of the 2014 recipe, I’ve included salted prunes for added depth,…

Spicy Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Peanuts.
I’m a HUGE fan of spicy foods, so it wasn’t surprising that I fell in love with Scorpion Nuts the very moment they came into contact with my taste-buds. I think it was a couple years back when my sister was here (Toronto) on business and she brought back a bottle each for my dad, sister and myself, from Trinidad. Very similar to typical spicy fried nuts or channa you’d get in plastic bottles in grocery stores or from road-side vendors throughout Trinidad and Tobago, but these were made with Trinidad Moruga Scorpion.

Fried Channa (spicy chickpeas snack).
A while back I did a more traditional recipe of this “fried” channa (chickpeas), except it was not fried but done in the oven for a more healthy twist. And I know many of you who are familiar with this crunchy snack will certainly find it strange that I’m topping it with grated Parmesan, but I assure you that the addition of the cheese compliments the overall flavor of it. During my primary school days this was sold by street vendors outside the school compound in paper cone shaped parcels and one of the ‘choice’ snacks for me at recess and lunch.
