Caribbean Curried Chicken
A curry recipe by popular demand! š This is a Caribbean curry so I donāt use some of the typical ātraditionalā spices eg ginger, garlic masala. Also you will notice the onions arenāt cooked for anywhere near as long. A good curry powder is essential in a Caribbean curry so get yourself a good brand. I like to use Bolsts but if this is difficult to get hold of good old Sharwoods madras will suffice. My chef son is always happy when I cook this whenever he is home. I also love eating it with a couple of boiled eggs smothered in chilli sauce. Happy eating!! š
