"A lovely lady who hailed from Trinidad shared this spectacular recipe with me many years ago. She was a coworker who brought this dish in for special occasions or potluck dinners. It was always the first empty serving dish at every event! She was so marvelously fun to work with and such a sweetheart to share this fantastic recipe with me!"

This very similar to a recipe a Trinidian woman gave me. We love it. She uses lime juice instead of lemon juice. She also adds some thyme and fresh ginger to the chicken seasoning and then adds 2 bay leave to the oil in the pot. If you could get Golden Ray brand margarine, this is added near the end for some extra flavor. Smells so great while it cooks! She uses Chief Brand curry powder which comes in a pouch. You could find it at some Asian markets or on line.

This is a fabulous recipe. Kids love it I'm making it for the second time this week because my son keeps asking for it. I used this to make chicken. This is not overly hot which is the way we like it . Thank you again for the recipe . I've got a feeling I'll be making this often.
