Jamaican Curry Chicken With Homemade Roti | Quarantine Cooking

Andre Fowles, chef and CEO of Everything Food Hospitality, is at home making chicken curry with roti, a quintessential Jamaican meal. Andre’s curry is made with chicken thighs and is packed with strong flavors like the scotch bonnet pepper, crushed allspice, and ginger. Andre creates a stew with the chicken, herbs, and potatoes, while showing how to make a quick and easy roti bread.

To all those persons commenting that this is Indian not Jamaican, there is no disputing the fact that it has Indian influence, however, the taste is completely different. When I make an Indian chicken curry I use cardamom, cumin, coriander, bay leaves etc. The chef's use of scotch bonnet pepper, scallion, thyme, pimento is unique to the Jamaican style of cooking. I'm pretty sure if some of you went to an Indian restaurant and ordered a curry and got what the chef made you'd complain that it wasn't Indian food. At the end of the day good food is good food, regardless of where it is from.

[@AZIZ18691]

Alecia Wright Thank You!!!!

[@shauna-leesmith9786]

So right. This is not how I cook it but the seasoning is definitely Jamaican not Indian.

[@itfeltsoreal]

💯 Caribbean food has influences from all over the world. West African, Indian/Asian, and to a smaller scale European as well. Each country has their own twist. This is a Jamaican twist

[@alishas.1760]

I completely agree, but however comparing it to "curry" that is served in Indian restaurants also takes away a lot of the influence as well. Because the majority of us don't make it like how they serve it in the typical Punjabi style. 9/10 our homemade chicken curry would resemble this than the one served in restaurants. This is Jamaican food but it also just as much Indian.

[@AbhishekVerma-jk2tt]

Yup I agree with your assessment. I've partied with many Jamaican and Trini friends, their curries are diff to what I bring/make. In the end, it's all good food and I'm happy to eat it all

[@kgizzle92]

The British conquered half the world...put Indians and Africans on the same islands where they created food like this...and still choose to eat unseasoned peas

[@sacred1827]

British know good food, they just don't know how to cook it for themselves

[@UlquiorraRocks1997]

there's Indian influence? Is that why he "burns the curry" or what Priya from BA calls "blooming the spices" or smth which seems to be an Indian technique? I could be way off and it could just be more standard of a technique than I thought but it seems interesting

[@bl00dhoney]

@@UlquiorraRocks1997 curry is an Indian cooking technique. Roti is Indian bread. Plain rice is an Indian way of eating rice. Rice and peas (or beans), how Jamaicans usually eat rice, is African.

[@aam7585]

​@@UlquiorraRocks1997 Hello frm India, ths process (burning the curry) is generaly not used for curries, mostly some times and in some parts of the country to tempure (tempuring) lentils (Daal). Ths will add flavour of the spices to the Oil thus to the whole dish. We add onion to the hot oil fry till golden brown, add chillies,garlic, onion n fry, add tomatoes n then add ground spices one by one . The tomatoes added earlier prevents the spice powders from burning anf then keep stirring the mixture(curry base) for about 45 minutes- keep adding lil bit of water time to time, till it starts releasing oil. This process is crucial for the taste of the Curry (most so called Restaurants " dont do it properly and use cheap methods to have a lot of carry base). Thn add chicken cubes n keep stiring the cubes and base mixture for another 20-30 mins (depending on the size of cubes) till the chiken pieces are almost cooked. Add warm water as per your perferance ,let everything boil . Add Garam Masal, stir and remove from fire. Keep aside for 1-2 hours , then serve with white boiled rice or Phulkas(rotis)/Paratha/Naan/Kulcha/dosa/Idli. What he made here is a Paratha not a Roti.

[@adrianfletcher8963]

To anyone who's not Jamaican: the sugar he's using is not the brown sugar you buy at the supermarket (i.e., it does not have a high molasses content; you can tell by how it falls into the bowl and it has a granulated look). If you go to a Jamaican store you will find it labeled as brown sugar however. I think it's best described as turbinado or Demerara although I'm not quite sure which one it is. There's a brand called Florida crystal that it's Demerara and it looks pretty close to the one used in the video.

[@dakotak51]

is it raw sugar? we got a similar product in nz

[@camtra18]

Scotch bonnet is habanero, they are the same thing

[@zipporahdailey]

Lisa Williams no it’s not. The Scotch Bonnet and Habanero are actually cousins! Both are a variety from the Capsicum Chinese chili plant. However the Habanero was domesticated in the Amazons and eventually found its way to Mexico and South America, where it is most popular. Scotch bonnet and habanero peppers are both seriously hot peppers with a similar fruity taste. The difference is that Scotch bonnet peppers have an additional sweetness that contributes to the overall flavor. Do your research.
