Product Rating (5):
Lovely curry blend with a nice sweetness from the sugar and sweet potatoe which compliments the spices perfectly.
Lovely chicken thigh, sweet potatoe curry using this blend of spices.
Glad you enjoyed this, looks like a vibrant and flavoursome meal!
We didn't want rice with the Caribbean Curry so the Mixed Veg Avial seemed like a good idea. It worked really well. In the Chicken Curry with the Spice Mix I cooked leeks in place of Spring Onions and we added a Fresh Salad. Lovely Sunday Supper.
Looks like a lovely warming meal- yum!
Made this twice now second time round I Added an extra chilli
Sounds delicious- one for us to try ourselves with an extra chilli!
The veg version takes a lot longer with all the prep work but very worthwhile. The caramelised sugar gives even the humble parsnip a totally new taste and quite exquisite. Sweet, warming and spicy hot.
That looks like a really nourishing, hearty mixture of veg, spiced up with sunny Caribbean flavours! We're pleased to hear that it was worth the extra time to prepare - great job!
