Trinidad Curry Powder

This authentic Trinidad curry powder is a vibrant, aromatic staple for any kitchen cupboard. Unlike many shop-bought varieties, this homemade blend relies on toasted whole seeds to unlock a deeper, more complex flavour profile. The combination of earthy coriander, nutty fenugreek, and the warmth of black peppercorns creates a versatile base that is essential for traditional Caribbean stews and vegetarian bean dishes.

Preparing your own spice blends is an excellent way to control the quality of your ingredients and avoid hidden additives. This low-sugar recipe provides a punchy, savoury foundation for goat, chicken, or chickpea curries. Simply store the finished powder in a sealed jar to preserve its freshness, ensuring you always have a taste of the Caribbean ready for your next midweek meal.
