Jamaican Curry Powder- Perfect blend of

homemade Curry Powder. Quick, easy, no
additives or fillers AND it tastes way better
than your store-bought brands.

Looking back at my life there has never been a

time when I did not have a curry jar in my
pantry. It’s always been a pantry staple and
something that I use more often than not. My
sister and I knew the magic ingredient to
make a disastrous stew somewhat edible-
Curry spice.

Just a little would evade the awkward glances

from everyone at the table. I was petrified
when it came to my turn, I would check,
double-check and triple-check, to make sure
there was enough in the jar before turning on
the gas stove.

Curry is not a single spice, but a unique blend

of spices. Which differs greatly in intensity,
flavor and heat level from region to region. I
have been meaning to make mine now for a
while but just kept putting it off. What gave
me the extra push is a curry competition I
attended. You had a group of participants
from different Caribbean Countries with
jamming Curry Chicken. I mean lip-
smacking, finger-licking curry chicken that
would awaken all the sensations in your body.
Yes! They were that good.

But the winner had a secret; she made her

own curry spice blend. As soon as I tasted it, I
knew this was it for me! The seasonings were
perfectly balanced- not one overpowering the
other. Since it was a competition and I was a
Judge I had to be very respectable and hold
the moaning and groaning.

Curious about curry powder. I want to know

the difference between Jamaican curry
powder and Indian curry powder. Well, say no
more.

There are a few differences between the two.

After doing side by side comparison and some
digging. You would notice that most
Jamaican, not all Jamaican curry powder tho,
are bright yellow from lots of turmeric, dried
scotch bonnet pepper (a childhood favorite)
and it always includes allspice, also known as
pimentos.

Here, I used cayenne pepper because dried

scotch bonnet pepper is not readily available.
Since this is homemade I took the liberty of
adding nutmeg, which is not typical feel free
to leave out or adjust.

This is just my interpretation of this curry

spice so switch it up if desired. Making your
own homemade spice blend means you
control how much of spice goes in your blend.

Also, do you want it to be salty or no salt at

all? Spicy or Less Spicy? I always leave out the
salt. So feel free to adjust it to suit your
tastebuds.

Make it yours!!!

Hi, Hazel. I bought back then that’s

salt-free in a local grocery store.
But you can also check on
amazon.com

Hi Imma,
I noticed the proportions have changed
signi!cantly this year. In previous versions of this
recipe the Allspice, ground Ginger, yellow
mustard seeds and fenugreek seeds were all
teaspoons instead of tablespoons. What drove
the change? I loved the old recipe and am
curious to try the new one. Thanks!

The Jamaican curry powder recipe. I have an

old written down version of this from your
site and it used to be 2 tsp each of allspice,
ginger, yellow mustard seeds and fenugreek
seeds, but now they’re 2 TBSP each.
