Fiji Craft Flight Notes

Jamaican curry has its own distinct personality, often combining curry spices with allspice and thyme for a flavor that is warm, savory, and unmistakably Caribbean.

Coconut milk adds richness to both the rice and the curry, while the mango salsa brings sweetness, acidity, and freshness to the finished bowl.

For this Fiji Craft flight to Jamaica, we paired tender curry-seasoned beef with coconut rice and mango salsa for a bowl that feels equal parts comforting and tropical.
