Caribbean Curry Chicken in Edmonton

Curry Chicken Plate in Edmonton

Caribbean curry chicken is warm rather than fiery — island curry powder rounded out with thyme, allspice and onion, simmered with chicken until the sauce clings and the meat gives way. Served with rice and peas, it is one of the steadiest orders on our menu in Edmonton.

About Our Curry Chicken Plate

Caribbean curry travelled to Jamaica with Indian indentured labourers in the nineteenth century and became something distinct along the way. The spice blend is turmeric-forward and less sweet than most South Asian curries, and it is finished with local aromatics — thyme, scallion, allspice and scotch bonnet — that give it a herbal, savoury edge.

Ours is simmered until the chicken is tender and the sauce has body, then plated with rice and peas and a side. If you like this, the same curry base carries our curry goat and our curry shrimp.

How Caribbean Curry Differs

The most common question we get is how this compares to Indian curry. Caribbean curry is generally lighter on cream and tomato, heavier on turmeric and fresh herbs, and finished with allspice — which is the flavour most people cannot place the first time they try it. It is savoury and aromatic rather than rich and heavy.
