Now you see how so very spoiled I am. I’ve been eating Maggi’s homemade Trini food every week for over 20 years!! Here is her general recipe but you need her hands to make it taste this good…. Click here to print recipe.


Ingredients:
2 packets of boneless thighs, chopped into cubes
1/2 cup Trinidadian Green Seasoning (buy at Caribbean store or homemade is best)
1 large onion, chopped
2-3 cherry pepper chopped ( to taste)
1 head garlic, peeled and chopped
2-3 scallions chopped
1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped
3 tbs Trini curry powder
Few curry leaves
cayenne pepper to taste
1 tbsp cumin powder
Method:
Marinate the chicken with seasoning for a few hours or overnight. Right before you are ready to cook it – add some chopped scallion and cilantro to it.
Heat oil in a wok, add onions & peppers. Combine the curry with curry leaves and about 1/2 cup water and mix well.
Add to the wok and mix well. Sauté for 10 – 15 minutes, stirring frequently till the curry mixture is cooked and doesn’t have a raw smell. Add chicken and combine with spices well. Let the chicken cook on medium heat, stirring frequently. Cover and let it cook until the chicken is cooked well – at least 25 minutes or so. Add cayenne pepper and cumin powder. Add salt to taste and combine. Add about a of cup water – let it simmer and thicken. Serve hot with rice, roti or buss up shot.
