Traditional curry recipe. Thyme, allspice and Scotch bonnet peppers are some ingredients used in Jamaican cuisine. Allspice is a berry of the pimiento tree so it is also known as pimento or Jamaican pepper. It is called allspice because it tastes like a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. So if you wanted to, you could substitute a cinnamon stick for the allspice in this. Serve with rice and salad. Note – prep is fairly short, but cooking is approx 1 1/2 hours
A wonderful dish served over rice. A salad of peanuts, coconut and banana goes well with this, or on the side as condiments.
A fabulous vegetarian curry, which I got off a blog, www.route79.com — taste and fall in love! You can add a finely chopped hot chilli if you want to spice it up.
You can make this recipe as a subtle side dish or add some cooked broccoli, chicken, and red bell pepper for a main course meal. I actually make this curry a little hotter by adding more curry powder.
My friend’s mom comes to visit him each year from India and is a super cook. This is an amazing recipe which, once you have the ingredients in your spice collection and have done it once or twice, it is a breeze to make. Most of these ingredients can be stored for a long time. Buy them if possible from an Indian grocery store because they are usually cheaper and fresher than a supermarket. I have wowed many guests with this dish and it is time that this recipe goes into the public domain.
