Trinidadian Chicken Curry

  • I adapted my own recipe from three recipes for Trinidadian Chicken Curry based on some of what I had on hand. It turned out really good. Id like to get advice from my Mom's best friend from Trinidad about the recipe she has used. if there are any updates I will post. But in the meantime I will definitely keep this recipe in rotation.
