About

Curry powder is a blend of many different spices. In a huge sub-continent like India and in neighbouring countries throughout the East, individual spices are mixed to complement the particular style of local cuisine. The various curry powders reflect the availability of the spices and the climate of the region. Curry powders from the hotter regions contain more fiery chilli flavours, while those from the cooler regions usually have warmer and more fragrant flavours. The main spices used in curry powder include dried red chillies, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, black mustard seeds, black peppercorns, ground turmeric and ground ginger.

Uses

The type of curry powder used is specific to the type of dish, for example, that used for vegetable dishes is typically sweet and aromatic, that for meat dishes is usually hot and pungent, and that for seafood is usually mild and faintly tangy. Curry powder is, of course, primarily used when making Indian curries, such as this Coconut & Turmeric Curry which makes for a delicious and hearty meal.
