Summary

Madras South Indian Curry is crafted from a blend of Indian Coriander, Brown Mustard, Turmeric, Cumin, Fenugreek Seed, Black Pepper, Chile Flake, Indonesian Cinnamon, Cardamom, and Ginger. This salt-free blend is perfect for adding a rich, golden color and a deep, complex flavor to a variety of dishes. Whether stirred into soups and sauces or used as the foundation for a curry, this blend brings a touch of South India to any dish.

History

Madras South Indian Curry is a classic curry powder hailing from the vibrant and aromatic regions of South India. The unique combination of spices reflects the local flora and historical trade influences, making it a staple in both traditional and contemporary South Indian cuisine. Interestingly, the evolution of curry powders like the Madras blend can be traced back to the colonial era, where such mixtures were developed to cater to British tastes and then re-imported to the West as a convenient means of replicating Indian flavors.

Why We Love It

Madras South Indian Curry is our go-to for creating Indian dishes that warm the soul and spice up the dinner table. This blend adds just the right amount of spice and color to make our meals vibrant. We love it for simmering a chicken curry or jazzing up a pumpkin soup.

The More You Know

Did you know that the term "curry" is actually a Western creation? In India, dishes that we might refer to as curry are more specifically named based on their ingredients and cooking methods.
