Surinamese Egg Salad

You’d almost think it’s Surinam week on Kayotic Kitchen, after I posted my Surinamese Pepper Jelly earlier this week. Nope, pure happenstance, but in my world it would not be a bad thing if it was Surinam month. Or year, even! It’s by far my favorite food. Now, as much as I adore my country egg salad (forgive the bad photography for I knew not what I was doing), I’m…

    Surinamese Fish Masala

    Simple dishes are always best, right? This tasty Surinamese fish masala recipe uses only basic ingredients, plus—and this is a biggie to me—you have it on the table in roughly 15 minutes. What more could you ask for? Now I have to say that I love anything curry—it’s by far my favourite spice to work with—and I especially use lots of it with fish and chicken. Somehow it gives the…

      Roti Chicken. Crock-Pot Edition.

      One of my personal favourites (and probably most googled) recipes is also one of my worst recipes photography-wise: roti chicken. What the heck was I doing there?! Anyway, did you know you can also make this dish in your slow cooker? It’s even easier. I’m also going to be reshooting the parathas as well pretty soon—have a new and improved recipe + technique. But back to the slow cooker recipe,…

        Potato Curry Masala

        Few things make me happier than eating potatoes. Maybe eating onions, my second major addiction. Or curry powder, my third addiction. I guess you could say that makes me prone to addiction (be quiet, Teri!). I held off on posting this (tweaked) Surinamese recipe for only one reason; I had no idea how to photograph it. Face it, esthetically it’s not one of my finer looking dishes. But what it…

          Chicken Curry Masala

            Judging by the amount of hits, comments and links on/to my Roti Chicken posting, I’d say you guys are up for more of these recipes! Here’s another winner. Simple, fragrant and highly addictive.  And not even too time consuming. Masala means spice blend. That’s all. There are a thousand kinds of masala out there, but a few are more commonly used: Garam Masala (Garam means hot) and Curry Masala are two of them…

            Roti Chicken

            I’m making a lot of my friends very, very happy by posting this recipe. Up until now, I’ve always blatantly refused to hand over my Roti chicken recipe (and rightfully so). There are certain things you just don’t share. Men, eyeliner and your secret recipes! But I was in a generous mood, so here it is! I have a deep-seated love for Surinamese food. It’s absolutely fantastic food. Colorful, fragrant, spicy, hearty and simple. Real…
