“This dish is perfect for summer because it’s so light. The taste is a party in your mouth. I also want to mention to anyone concerned that the chicken breast will be dry—do not worry—it was very moist. I also made your green seasoning to use and it was great.”
— Holly DeLeon (extended)
“Hi! Thank you for posting a very helpful video tutorial and an easy to follow recipe. The curry turned out great! Really tasty and with authentic taste. I would rate this 5 stars easily.”

“Wow! This was amazing. I use a lot of found recipes, but this one deserves it. The flavours are spot on. This rivals our very good authentic Trinidadian roti shop. Will be making this again!”
— Susan
“Most of my family left Trinidad in the 60s and 70s. For my sister, my cousins and I, it’s largely through food that we reconnect with our ancestral island. People like you help us keep that culinary culture alive and share it with friends around the world.”
