How is Jamaican curry powder different from Indian? Enquiring minds (mine!) would love to know. Thanks, Chris

Jaimaican curry powder is a different blend than typical Indian. The best reference I could find is Jamaician is a blend of red pepper, coriander, tumeric, cumin, anise and fennel and regular curry is cumin, turmeric, coriander, ground red pepper, and cloves. Hope this helps!
