Sounds real good, mon.


Sounds way good mon......


Oooo, this sounds tasty! :)


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!


I can't wait to try this! Thank you
