My potato curry finished in no time when I made it recently at a large event. The host requested that I make it again for the next event.

Most formal gatherings serve Jamaican curry goat. Fast forward years later, preparing Jamaican style curry is second nature for me.

What is Jamaican Curry Powder?

I get my readers asking me a lot, ‘why is curry powder missing from my recipe?‘

Curry powder is a blend of finely ground spices, such as turmeric, cumin, and coriander, used for making curry. If you check all my curry recipes, I include all these spices.

This blend of spices differ from country to country and from brand to brand, it is most likely based on spices that are available in that country.

In Jamaica, we add pimento (allspice berries) to our blend. In India, they add cardamom, star anise, mace.

Naturally, the final dish will taste different depending on the curry blend used. To ensure that the outcome of my recipe is the same and taste phenomenal.

I mentioned the curry ingredients and amounts individually. Honestly, there are some curry blends that can spoil the recipe.

My potato curry recipe has the simplest blend that provides maximum flavor. However, you can easily substitute with about 2 tablespoons of your favorite store-bought curry powder blend.
