Trini Curry with Buss Up Shut & Mango Chow
| Description | This month we’ve got a delicious curry from Trinidad that’s traditionally cooked with duck (though chicken works too) and is served as part of a feast at Trini beach 'limes' (beach parties!). The curry is flavoured with green seasoning (a tangy sauce of herbs and lime juice), Trini curry powder and plenty of very darkly roasted ground cumin (geera) - a flavour that’s unique to Trinidadian cooking. It’s served here with buss up shut, a flaky layered flatbread that has its origins in the roti breads brought over to the Caribbean in the 1800’s by indentured workers from India. After cooking they’re bashed up (buss up) creating the perfect vessel for scooping up the curry! |

A bit more time consuming than some others, but worth the effort. Tried this with Jackfruit, which was new to us. Very good substitute for chicken.
Another amazing Spice Box! We used duck for the curry and the flavours from the spices were delicious. Although we managed to slightly mess up the roti, we recovered it and they came out well. All nicely complemented with the salads. 5*!
We're so happy to hear how much you loved this spicebox, Owen! Great job using duck for a more authentic version, and for recovering your roti - we're pleased to hear that everything came together in the end for a delicious meal!
Great mid-week warmer. Very tasty and succulent. Used boned out chicken thighs which were very juicy and melt in the mouth.
This looks fantastic, Richard, especially in your lovely balti bowl! It's great to hear that these sunny Caribbean flavours warmed you up nicely!
Three generations of our family LOVED this spicy Trinidian curry, including my Mudder In Law who appreciated the spicy humour in the naming of this fiery dish.
What a lovely family meal! We're so happy to see everyone digging into this Trini curry!
Delicious recipe from the Friday night subscription. Trini Curry with Buss up Shut and Mango Chow.
This looks delicious, Christine - great work! We're so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed it. Happy spicing!
One of the tastiest dinners I have ever had!! Lots of steps to the recipe but very easy to follow and the timings were perfect and well worth the effort! Looking forward to leftovers for dinner tonight and very excited for our next box!
Yum! Happy spicing!
This was amazing! We cooked with ingredients that we had never used before and it all turned out great. Really tasty :) The method was easy to follow too
Looks delicious, great job!
I love to get everything ready before I start cooking with these packs. I feel like The Galloping Gourmet, but I get to taste everything too. I love these spice kits and especially love that I’m learning new skills, like Buss Up Shuts, which were so simple but really delicious
Prep is key for success with the subscriptions, looks like you're nailing it! #prospicer
In my lockdown version of this meal, I used cooked cubes of chicken and red lentils, Instead of raw duck and split peas, adjusted the timing and used pressure cookers and it all turned out divine! The Buss Up Shut was such fun to make and such a lovely texture, too. Just love these spice mixes.
Great substitution and execution! Looks delicious
Although a first sounds complicated,once all the prep was done easy to follow. The shut up buss breads were delicious
Looks delicious, Tracey! Happy spicing!
This was a really interesting dish, something I would never have tried before. I really enjoyed it.
Brilliant, really glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing! Our first meal made from The Spicery and couldn't believe how tasty and easy it was to create! This was ordered as gift for our Wedding Anniversary and we will certainly be ordering more.
Looks fantastic, great job!
Great job - happy spicing!
Made this the night before Ainsley Harriet went to Trinidad - delicious
Great job - happy spicing!
Excellent. Many steps, concentration required but worth the effort. Could do with timing suggestions e.g. how far in advance can the marinade be done, etc
It looks like you did an excellent job, hats off to the chef! Thanks for your feedback about the timing suggestions- we'll pass this on to the recipe development team!
I’m the cook in our house and this was our second box and we loved it!!! Really enjoyed all the dishes and felt they complemented each other really well. There’s something so satisfying about laying out all the ingredients and preparing for a day of cooking
Glad everyone loved it, this recipe is a definite crowd-pleaser! Yummy everything looks so fresh - ready to be turned into a magnificent meal!
An amazing array of flavours. Some unusual combinations but they all taste fantastic.
Glad you enjoyed this! The Buss up Shut looks perfectly flaky and ready to scoop up some of that delicious curry- hats off to the chef!
Absolutely super delicious. The Trini curry was spicy & tasty...loved it. Buss up Shut turned out fantastic...just like a nan bread should taste. Dhal was something new to us & we enjoyed it too..l
Everything looks incredible, glad you really enjoyed this and had a new taste experience with the dhal too! Now we're thinking about all of the delicious food at a Trini beach lime (beach party)!
Picture before ripping up the buss up shut! Very good curry, lots of tasty elements! Cooking was a bit intensive for my usual level of skill but fun!
It looks like you did a fantastic job, the buss up shut is making us seriously hungry at Spicery HQ! Thanks for sharing and happy spicing!
Quite alot of prep for this box and it does have some heat but flavours were lovely and the 'bread' was so good!
Great job! Everything looks delicious and so flavoursome, thanks for sharing and happy spicing!
