DECEMBER: Date Night in Trinidad
To be sent on:

A delicious curry chicken dish all the way from the Caribbean island nation of Trinidad!

More info

This month we’ve got a delicious curry chicken dish all the way from the Caribbean island nation of Trinidad. Over the centuries, colonial rule and immigration have left Trinidad with a diverse ethnic mix which is reflected in the food, as seen in this curry recipe - parsley and thyme are European, the habanero chilli is Central American, and the heavily cumin-scented amchar masala sprinkled in at the end is a uniquely West Indian take on a classic Indian spice blend. On the side we’ve got pholourie, a fried street snack which is always eaten with a sweet and sour tamarind sauce and a fruity apple chow. Rich and indulgent hibiscus cheesecakes complete this Trinidadian date night!

I agree with the previous customer that it was quite hot when we tried it last time, but overall it was one of the more delicious Date Night kits. The starter and dessert were delicious! We always love the tamarind sauce that comes with a kit and we look forward to giving this another go, possibly reducing stone of the curry powder this time around.

The refreshing apple chow complimented the deliciously spicy chicken curry! The pudding was a cooling end...

We loved the curry made from the herbs and spring onion. It gave a really nice fragrance to the curry. The little doughnuts were lovely too.

All lovely. The curry was really tasty and all the accompaniments were delicious. My particular favourite of the meal was the cheesecake. All served with homemade pina coladas.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Loved all the flavours of this meal, the different spices and textures balanced with a really beautiful and easy dessert. I love the Spicery for helping to create meals I don’t think I could by using my own spice collection and recipe ...

Another top notch meal! Loved the mild curry and pholourie, with the apple chutney to give it some punch.
