Notes

  • For a super quick Jamaican Curry Blend, mix 1.5 tsp curry powder of choice and generous dashes of thyme, parsley, allspice, nutmeg and 1/4 tsp lime zest.
  • To make this oil-free: Dry toast the flour and dry spices on a dry skillet for 2-3 mins, and keep them ready. Water saute the onion, garlic, then add the toasted spices + flour and lime zest. Cook for a minute, add non dairy milk and continue.
