About Choka
Choka is a flavorful dish originating from Caribbean cuisine, particularly popular in Trinidad and Tobago. It is typically made from roasted vegetables like tomatoes, eggplants, or okra, mashed and seasoned with garlic, onions, hot peppers, and olive oil or butter. This dish is known for its smoky, savory taste and is often served alongside roti or bread. Choka is rich in nutrients, as its primary ingredients—tomatoes and eggplants—are excellent sources of vitamins, antioxidants, and dietary fiber. These components support heart health and digestion while providing essential minerals. Olive oil, often used in preparation, contributes healthy fats, while hot peppers bring metabolism-boosting benefits. However, the use of butter or added oils can increase calorie content, so moderation is key for those monitoring fat intake. This plant-based recipe is a vibrant, wholesome option suitable for vegan and vegetarian diets.
