Jamaican Patty is a golden, flaky pastry filled with seasoned ground beef, chicken, vegetables, or saltfish, spiced with Scotch bonnet pepper, thyme, garlic, and allspice, and baked until crisp. Its distinct yellow crust comes from turmeric or curry powder in the dough. Originating in Kingston, Jamaica, the patty is a staple grab-and-go meal, often enjoyed alone or inside a coco bread for a heartier sandwich. Inspired by Cornish pasties and adapted with Caribbean heat, it’s now beloved across the Jamaican diaspora.

Common variations include cheese patty, curried chicken, vegetable, and callaloo-filled versions.
