Mixture of spices that take on a yellow hue, it is not a staple Indian ingredient in Indian cooking. This powder was created by British to evoke the essence of Indian food and is not used in authentic cooking. The confusion may come from a popular Indian dish known as curry, but that term refers not to the spice blend but to the dish itself, which is made up of sauce or gravy along with meat and vegetables. Often one of the main ingredients in curry powder is turmeric. Other spices that can be incorporated include everything from ginger, cinnamon, garlic and cloves to mustard seeds, black pepper and fennel seeds. Although curry powder is not meant for traditional Indian dishes, it still has a place in the spice drawer as it can add a unique taste to a variety of recipes. Curry Powder can be used to season roasted vegetables, pureed soups, hummus, egg salad, and even popcorn. It will give an ordinary recipe a touch of warmth and depth. This spice blend benefits from being mixed with a liquid (like broth or coconut milk) or yogurt before adding it to the dish, which helps the flavors of the curry powder infuse into other ingredients. Curry Powder is also meant for slower cooked recipes, so it has time to release its flavours. It combines both sweet and savory elements, creating a spice powder that is earthy and warm with a bit of brightness to it. The powder can range from mild to spicy, depending on the type and amount of pepper used; mild will list ginger and black pepper as ingredients, while chile peppers will signify a spicy blend.
