Jamaican Curry Powder
This is a genuine Jamaican curry powder recipe without hot pepper, which should be added separately to any dish. You can also use powdered versions of any of the ingredients, but for better flavor use whole seeds. For real Jamaican flavor, you will usually add Scotch bonnet or habanero chile peppers to your recipes. However, if you want to add heat directly to the powder, add 2 to 4 tablespoons cayenne powder to the mix, depending on your taste.
