Trini curry stew chicken is the ultimate mashup of sweet. spicy and savory. If you love Trinidad’s curry chicken and stew chicken, you will love this winning combination.
In my recipe, the chicken pieces are seasoned with curry and fresh seasoning then stewed using the traditional stewing process.
This dish can be enjoyed with dhal and rice or with any of the popular rotis in Trinidad including dhalpuri, dosti roti, aloo roti,paratha roti or sada roti. Aside from dhal, sides could include stewed red beans, stewed black eye peas, or callaloo.
