    Being from the Caribbean I'm amazed how differently each island cooks curry. 🇹🇹 We would cook and season it the chicken so differently. But I appreciate the difference and similarities in our cultures

    I love West Indian curry. I personally prefer it to the curries that you find in India. I have to admit that I'm not familiar with Barbadian curries though so it was interesting to watch this. It's a bit different from the types of curries that I'm more familiar with (Jamaican, Trinidadian, and Guyanese).

    I hope you get a chance to try a homemade Indian curry, as well as try all that India has to offer. The south is completely different than the northern cuisine. They use more coconut, mustard seeds, curry leaves, aesofitida, and red meat. I'm of Indian decent but born and raised in the states. I have love of all of my Caribbean brothers and sisters and enjoy their own uniqueness and take on east Indian recipes. It's all love.

    Each set of people that came into the Caribbean contributed one thing or another. I think the origin of curry chicken should have been done by a Guyanaese, trini, indobarabadian or indojamacan etc someone from the indocaribbean community or someone who actually has connection and emotions to their community. I did my research and I don't think think video is completely accurately and emotionally aligned and mindful to the indentured servants from india. Caribbean people were never taught that that particular curry was from Portuguese. I think KZread should take it down like why if it's offensive since the info is not 100 right. Isnt it from india not portugese ?
