This was sooo good! Because of the area I live in (I guess) I couldn’t find green seasoning or hot peppers or thyme to replace the green seasoning. So instead I only used the green onion, cayenne, and garlic salt to marinate the chicken. Then while cooking I ended up adding cumin and extra salt. I also added green peppers because I like vegetables. :) There’s a lot of changes but I had to make it work to what I had!

Good recipe - while I will never cook a curry as good as my Trini friend does , this recipe was easy to follow and the curry was very good ! I have made it a few times always with great results....

A basic authentic Trinidad style of cooking curry chicken. If you can get the ingredients to make a true green seasoning makes a huge difference in my opinion but this is a great recipe!
