India Tree Curry Powder is a pungent blend of nine premium spices used in the cuisine of southern India. Turmeric, cumin, coriander, ginger, pepper, cardamom, mace, mustard seed, and cloves. The colonial British became addicted to Indian curries and concocted for themselves spice mixes to approximate these exotic flavors. And that is how curry powder came into being. If you wish to make our India Tree Curry Powder hotter, add a bit more pepper, ginger, cayenne, or crushed red chiles. Use it in Indian curry dishes, as a rub for meat, or as a flavoring for a butter sauce; add it to a salad dressing; use it to season rice and noodle dishes; blend it into a savory lentil soup, add to stir fry; sprinkle on chicken breasts and sauté them for a quick chicken curry.
