Cooking with Curry Powder

Jerk this, Jerk that, for your information, Jamaican kitchens aren't just filled with Jerks. A couple of weeks ago, I spent some JAHM on Jamaican Curry Powder at the @iriegiftshop. I love trying and buying spices - Jamaican Curry is a great blend of Coriander, Tumeric, Cumin, Pepper, Chili, Ginger, Mustard, Fennel and Fenugreek. While there is nothing wrong with Jerk Spice, we especially loved some of the curry dishes down there and just had to bring the main ingredient home.

I've been experimenting with some Curry Concoctions. Curry Spice and Walkerswood Seriously Hot Sauce made some great marinade for this Eye of Round.

Although it could have been marinated longer, the curry with the hot sauce made for an excellent steak. You can also add the Jamaican curry powder to the veggies, onions, and peppers. Pairs well with a glass of Merlot or Dragon Stout.

Curried vegetables are just as good as curried meats. For the lovers of veggies, vegans and Ital's in the house, one way of making your food taste great is to add a little love-Jamaican Curry Style. Spice is the variety of life.

Baked n' Curried potatoes are a great way to start one's day. Serve with a combination of ketchup and hot sauce to provide you with the calories you need to blog for hours on end.

My favourite creation, one that is worthy of a post on its own is Curry Chicken Chow Mein. Where east meets west, this dish is as multicultural as it gets. Infused with fine flavours from around the globe, this made everyone's mouth in the lunchroom water with jealousy.

At the centre of it all is Jamaican Curry Powder. Purchased in a historic second real-world use of JAHM ever, thanks to the Iriegiftshop in Negril.
