Coconut Chokha

The first time I had this unusual dish was not in Trinidad but at a Guyanese restaurant in Queens, New York. After checking with my Trini-Guyanese friend Darrel, he confirmed that Coconut Chokha is Trinidadian as well, though rarely prepared. I found it to be a wonderful accompaniment to all kinds of dishes, particularly those with less spice that need a kick. It is something akin to a cooked coconut chutney.
