You are welcome.

I've been searching for authentic jamaican curry, as my husband Jamaican and I'm srilankan I wanted the traditional thank you for your content🙏

[@msjulie9592]

As a new subscriber binge-watching these amazing pieces, what stands out to me most so far is how warm and respectful the interviewees are, how passionate they are for their respective craft, how hard they work to keep it going, and their love of their country. I'm hopeful that Mr. Mendez was able to acquire the grinder that he wanted.

[@myislandjamaica]

He did. Thsmke Ms Julie

[@raymond3722]

So amazing to see the hard work they put in to bring out the real authentic jamaican products..

[@kwacou4279]

My mum made homemade curry, she added coriander, fenugreek, and cumin, along with the bird peppers, turmeric, allspice/pimento and a plant she used to call curry leaf. My family is from Santa Cruz St. Elizabeth.

[@lindsaycharles8419]

Hi Kwacou, thanks for sharing. Did your Mommy used the dried coriander seed?

[@pastryshack551]

Kwacou, your mother's curry powder sounds like the real thing. This gentleman's powder has the least ingredients of any Jamaican I have seen making this lovely spice. There is no recipe so you can't follow , but I think he is withholding many of the ingredients being used Not that it matters me, because he has to protect his livelihood.

[@pastryshack551]

OK it seems as though he has added ginger, cinnamon, and thyme now that's better

[@blosshill2112]

WOW, so interesting. Had no idea that it was such a lengthy process. Thank you for taking me on a tour of the land of my birth with all of your educational videos.

[@kathychinn3334]

I’m glad & love I’ve discovered your channel. No matter where we come from all of our sistren & breddren can trace our roots back to Mother Africa. The elder I take my hat off to his painstaking hard work. In New Orleans my hometown, we use the sassafras’s Plant to make Gumbo File’ ! Pronounced (GUM - BO FEE- LAY) . We sun dry the Sassafras’s & beat it until it’s a powder form to serve with our Famous dish File’ Gumbo. The Jamaican culture is so similar but different from New Orleans. Thanks for always sharing your content. And there’s no other like the Jamaican Curry.💯✔️

[@madeinjamaica7025]

Curry comes from India tho..

[@sexysandie696]

Wow, never knew how it was made, real yard ..

[@robertlussier2944]

Masala spice itself is pretty involved. It contains coriander seeds, cumin seeds, cardamom seeds, fennel seeds, mustard seeds, peppercorns, cloves and red chili peppers, all heated in a dry skillet, then ground into a fine powder in a clean coffee or spice mill.

[@jeromereid831]

Give thanks for the knowledge

I remember my nanny making curry powder way back in the 80s with one big flat stone and a next stone to grind it. (Birmingham, England) It confused me as all I ever saw was everyone else buying curry powder. No wonder nanny’s always tasted better 😉

Such hard work i wish the government would get involved and help these elders in what ever ways they can,,. There's so many ways of living off the land and we have so much empty land in Jamaica, why can't they get some young people involve? This would help keep them out of trouble u just have to instill in them that the process might be hard but the rewards are great,

Best curry powder

[@elainem6832]

Absolutely wonderful video. Homemade products made with love and care is very much appreciated by many and usually better tasting than the industrialised products. Hip hip hooray to the good ole cottage industries. This only question I have sir is, is Jamaican Curry slightly different to Indian Curry? The only curry I really occasionally cook with is Bolts (Indian) but I’d love to try this Jamaican (homemade) recipe. Although I don’t really have curries at all often, the combination looks really interesting & flavoursome. I hope he also finds many patrons abroad. Sir, the way you keep repeating how - ‘it’s hard manual work’ & ‘it’s really hard work’ sounds real funny, particularly as they are self employed - it’s their business. Ok, thanks & Peace 😏🙏

[@myislandjamaica]

lol. Thanks my friend.

[@AnnaYAH5315]

Another great video! Is Mr Mendez still making curry? His process could be so much more efficient with 1 or 2 simple kitchen equipment. That can be explored.....

[@myislandjamaica]

Yes and yes

[@MD_ENTERTAINMENT]

Bro you really shouldn't make him give away his full ingredients.

[@klevar92]

Unless they set up operations on the island I think he’s good😂. It’s not just grinding a bunch of ingredients he picked up at the supermarket. The soil all of those ingredients were grown in contributes to the final product.

[@MD_ENTERTAINMENT]

@@klevar92 I disagree, it don't take mush for big companies like GraceKennedy an Lasco to take his ingredients and add their own to it.

[@klevar92]

@@MD_ENTERTAINMENT …true 🤔. And they do operate on the island

@@klevar92 yea👍🏿

[@pastryshack551]

You don't have to worry about this gentleman giving away his recipe. He is smart the ingredients he mentioned are out there, but I know he has other secret ingredients this guy will never know. Even if a jamaican did not go to school, they have a good head

That was pretty cool to watch. Though if I got to meet that gentlemen I would tell him that he could use a bike and chain and hook it up to that hand grinder instead of him using his arm he could peddle on the bike (which I'm guessing would also be better than using the arm)

These "old stories" are important lessons. Many of these lessons may seem strange, but today scientific research is validating them. Silver has been used to promote wound healing for thousands of years. Topical antimicrobial dressings, including those that contain silver, are used to prevent or manage infection in a wide range of wounds. Silver dressings are topical wound care products derived from ionic silver. These products release a steady amount of silver to the wound and provide antimicrobial or antibacterial action. The silver is activated from the dressing to the wound's surface based on the amount of exudate and bacteria in the wound. Even the NIH also supports the idea that colloidal silver can be an effective topical wound dressing.
