We love how this organic curry powder hints at the traditional Madras style of curry, while also bringing a balanced flavor that doesn’t just highlight one single spice. They all work together in harmony, creating layers of flavor that arise one after the other. Fenugreek offers that classic curry flavor, while warm cinnamon, spicy ginger and fragrant cloves round things out. Coriander, cumin and tart mustard bring a base note of savoriness, and cayenne and black pepper give a kiss of gentle heat. The quality of the organic spices is evident in how bold and aromatic they come across, which truly sets it apart from others we’ve sampled. Also, this curry powder has a smoother grind, so it will never make a dish gritty.
It uses 12 spices: Coriander, cumin, mustard seed, black pepper, ginger and chili are typical suspects in a Madras, while the addition of fenugreek adds a balanced bitterness. Cardamom, nutmeg, cloves and cinnamon brings a warming aroma. And the producer’s high-curcumin organic turmeric powder brings that necessary tumeric kick with added potency.
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
Add a tablespoon or two of this to any curry you’re making, as opposed to the laundry list of spices your recipe might call for. Toss a pinch with root vegetables before roasting or into a simmering soup or stew. We love the body it adds to rice pilaf, sauces and salad dressings. And it’s incredible mixed into chicken salad with some chopped nuts for texture.
