garlic--4 cloves or more if you like it

8 oz of coconut milk

curry powder(several different types i use the yellow even then several types of yellow depending on how spicy you want it we use 5 to 6 tablespoons--mix with a little wate to form a smooth liquid)

cooking oil about 2 table spoons

fish of your choice 2lbs

salt to taste

16 oz of water

heat pot then add cooking oil and garlic
when the garlic turns a yellowish color
then add curry
stir until the curry is mixed with the oil
then add the fish and cover for 5 mins
then add coconut milk and water stir then cover and wait for 5 min.
then serve with steamed white rice

and a side plate of fruit to cool your taste buds( i like banannas or good mangos)
also if you can find a indian store they sell these fluufy tortillas called--Roti canai
you cook them just like tortillas


and they curries can be found at indian food stores or asian markets...
also you can use chicken or beef instead of fish just adjust the cooking times

good luck pm me if you have any questions

Sounds wonderful. Is the tortilla cooked in a paper bag? I have had curried goat with a similiar dough while in Trinidad. I believe it was called busupshot (sic). The combination was incredible! I have never been able to find it anywhere else. If you ever get the chance try it, you will love it if you like curried meat!

T-rocks that recipe looks awesome, but I deviate slightly and you might just consider the addition of an unpopped scotch bonnet pepper to the pot. Makes it that much better if you like spicy foods.

Yeah curry was made by the Indians but perfected by the Indo-Trinidadians. They said goodbye to traditional Indian flavour generations ago. I believe that bus up shot is just a regular dhal or sada roti shredded to allow for a more hands on approach.

Paul if you are located in Florida, there are Trini roti shops around. Doesn't get much better than a well made Trini style roti, and thats for sure. Many cold winter days up here in Michigan I wish I could be eating one.

P.S. Isn't Trinidad the best place in the world? (yeah so what if I'm biased)

Excellent recipe, I used it with fresh WSB. I altered it slightly to taste (double the garlic), added onions, carrots, and Red Bell Pepper with Naan bread instead of the roti. It was very good :thumps:
thanks

trinigordo your right i loved the carib. curry's when i was in belieze last year. been trying to duplicate the curry shrimp they made there and have yet to do it right.


the tortillia is cooked on a iron skillet or in a pan with no oil. just let each side burn a little, then place inbetween 2 paper towels and kind of push the sides together till its kind of wrinkley.

i should of put the fish is already fried before you add it to the curry. also socre the fish on both sides before frying. helps it cook better and really gets the curry to infuse into the meat. i cook it head and all. love the eyeballs

Cobia has been the best fish I've used in curry. It is firm and tastes great. Reminds me of high school:D
