Caribbean curry

Tropical spiced dish

Caribbean curry is a style of curry developed in the West Indies, blending South Asian spice traditions with local ingredients and cooking methods.

It typically features a milder, sweeter profile than its Indian counterparts, often incorporating coconut milk, allspice, scotch bonnet peppers, and thyme.
