Non Vegetarian
Curry Chicken

I am going to list the method for this Curried Chicken recipe the traditional Trinidad and Tobago way. Here goes!

Method
Firstly I would put the raw chicken in a bowl of water, and add the juice of half of a lime, to soak for about 10 minutes (this is to 'cut' the freshness). Through out the water and rinse the chicken. Season with your desired seasoning. My mother uses her home made seasoning.

In a small bowl, add 1/2 cup of water. Add the curry powder and mix well. Place a pot on the fire and allow the pot to hot. Add the olive oil and garlic. Allow the garlic to saute for 2 minutes. Now add the curry water to the pot and allow to cook for 2 minutes.

Add the seasoned chicken, onion, potato (I really added this vegetable to thicken the sauce - see my Sauce Thickner Cooking Tip), salt and black pepper. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly together and allow to simmer for about 5 minutes. Gradually add water and allow the chicken to cook.

If you like your food spicy, you can add a whole hot pepper but please be careful, do not cover the pot, otherwise the pepper will burst and the food would be TOOO spicy. Or you can add about half teaspoon of peper sauce. In about 20 minutes, this dish should be done.
