I never thought I like curry powder. I'm not sure where my negative comments come from, but I used to accidentally add it to the soup and found that I absolutely love it. The unique and complex flavor makes the curry powder an incredible addition to the meal.
Now, I add this curry powder recipe to breakfast dishes like our regular veggie scramble. I also use it with meat, soup and roasted vegetables. I've tried adding it to traditional curry dishes, although these are definitely not my power (will anyone come and teach me?).
What is curry powder?
The term “curry” is not a clear concept in the food world. We apply it to any amount of spicy flavor, often associated with Asian or Indian cuisine. Interestingly, most curry powder seasonings don’t use curry leaves at all, but rather a mixture of various earthy and smoky spices.
The concept of curry originated from the British occupation of India, and the British marked the food of Indian curry. So today’s curry powder is indeed a European explanation of Indian cooking. Over the years, they have evolved a little, but have different combinations of different spices.
You will find spice mixture with fenugreek seeds, fennel seeds, chili powder, ground ginger, mustard seeds, coriander seeds, chili pepper, black pepper, black pepper, chili powder, cumin seeds, leaves, garlic powder, garlic powder and cinnamon. The curry spice mixture can be used to grill the whole spice and then grind in a spice grinder. Other recipes (including this) use ground spices for faster versions.
Given the health benefits of spices, curry can be a great way to work in a variety of spices.
How to season (or taste) with mild curry powder
Why make curry powder when you can buy it? One word: hot! Most of the pre-made curry seasonings I've tried are packed with a lot of calories and spices. Especially for kids, this can be difficult.
Making your own DIY spice blend allows you to customize the heat for your family. You can also adjust the recipe and miss any spices you don't like.
How to use curry powder
There are many traditional Indian recipes and adaptations used with curry powder. It also works well with seasonings for sweet potatoes, roasted chickpeas and chicken.
If you don't think you like curry, it may be that your taste isn't in the right fusion. Try your own curry powder. First, add it in a small amount to a simple recipe like meat, roasted vegetables or soup and work from there.
