Curry Powder Mix
Curry powder is a mixture of spices based on South Asian cuisine. A similar spice blend exists in the north, called garam masala. Although you can buy ready made curry powder, it’s easy to make your own using everyday spices you will find at your local supermarket.
We have several different curry powder mix recipes on the site so once you’ve tried one, it is good to experiment.
The Curry Cocktail
As curry lovers, our curryosity has no limits – sorry.
Whether we should go as far as risking our lives over it, we’re certainly ready to try new culinary experiences. In that spirit, and because summer means cocktails (although their consumption is not limited to that specific time of the year, but it sure does carry with it a summer vibe).
Garam Masala Recipe
Garam masala has been part of Indian cuisine for centuries, also crossing over into neighbouring countries.
Literally, the name means ‘hot spice’ – although this does not necessarily refer to chilli heat but to the fact that the cooking process involves toasting the spices.
Jal-Jeera (Jaljeera, jaljira) recipe
Jal-jeera powder generally consists of cumin, black pepper, mint, rock salt and some fruit powder. You can also find recipes with chili or hot pepper powder. In Hindi Jal means “water” and Jeera means “cumin”.
As well as giving your taste buds a hefty kick, the drink is also reported to be good for your digestion thanks to the cumin and rock salt.
Curry Sauce Base
The secret to many great curry recipes is not to just add water or chopped tomatoes when you need to create a sauce, but to have a pre-cooked “base curry sauce” ready to use.
Any curry chef worth their salt knows the secret of a good curry sauce and here at Curry Culture Towers we want to share this secret with you – here’s a great starter recipe for a good curry base sauce
