Careful how u commenting. Some ppl not liking negative responses. His recipe is crap

[@amandachinapen9791]

Idk what kind of curry bodi is this lol def not trini

[@janbrown791]

Yummy

[@avalonweekes3905]

Why the clove?

[@karminiparsan9256]

Clove is one of the spices used in curry powder..and maybe he likes a little extra clove flavour. I am always surprised by his use of celery in all his food but to each his own. Personally I like to taste the pure flavour of the vegetable so I tend not to use so many aromatics

[@Tellthetruth1461]

No clove

[@Tellthetruth1461]

@@karminiparsan9256 I think to many aromatics

[@Tellthetruth1461]

Garlic, onion, hot pepper for me, I think he added to many

Your name is not Chef Jeremy Lovell. You are chef Jeremy Lovell because of your career. Your government name is Jeremy Lovell. It’s better to say I’m Chef Jeremy Lovell. No disrespect, no hard feelings.

@@hemasookram4655 ... The chef did say that HE was going to show the viewers how HE does his curry bodi.
What's wrong with that?
Even though this is not the traditional way bodi is curried in T&T what YOU folks do not realize is that many of these new ingredients and their nutritional value can make our traditional dishes super foods to fight things like cancer, diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, covid19, heart and liver diseases and many many others. Nutmeg is an antioxidant and bayleaf is used as a cancer and diabetes treatment in some cases.
Part of the components of the actual Curry powder is nutmeg and cinnamon..... and bay leaves are widely used in many Pakistan and East Indian dishes in the South Asian region.
In 2022 and beyond while Trinbagogians can still hold on to our traditional way of cooking, it is imperative that we also start to consider what is healthy for us as a progressive nation.
Sometimes WE have to think outside the box.
I have seen curried lentil peas cooked with bay leaves in Whole Foods in New York City and it is usually sold out at lunch time. Says much about diffrent foods and its consumption.
Give the Chef a break.
