I never thought I liked curry powder. I\u2019m not sure where my negative opinion came from, but I once accidentally added it to a soup<\/a> and discovered I absolutely love it. The unique and complex flavor makes curry powder an incredible addition to meals.<\/p>\n

I now add this curry powder recipe to breakfast dishes, like our regular vegetable scramble. I also use it with meats, soups, and roasted veggies. I\u2019ve experimented with adding it to traditional curry dishes, though these definitely aren\u2019t my strength (anyone want to come teach me?).<\/p>\n

What Is Curry Powder?<\/h2>\n

The term \u201ccurry\u201d isn\u2019t exactly a clear-cut concept in the food world. We apply it to any number of spicy, saucy dishes and typically associate it with Asian or Indian cuisine. Funny enough, most curry powder seasonings don\u2019t use curry leaves at all but are a mix of various earthy and smoky spices.<\/p>\n

The concept of curry<\/a> originated from the British occupation of India and the Brits labeled the food their Indian curry. So the curry powders of today are really a European interpretation of Indian cooking. Over the years they\u2019ve evolved some, but feature different combinations of various fragrant spices.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll find spice blends with fenugreek seeds, fennel seeds, paprika, ground ginger, mustard seeds, coriander seeds, cayenne pepper, black pepper, chili powder, cumin seeds, bay leaf, garlic powder, and cinnamon. Curry spice blends can use whole spices toasted and then ground in a spice grinder. Other recipes (including this one) use ground spices for a faster version.<\/p>\n

Given the health benefits of spices<\/a>, curry can be a fantastic way to work in a whole array of spices.<\/p>\n

How to Make a Mild Curry Powder Seasoning (Or to Taste)<\/h3>\n

Why make curry powder when you can buy it? One word: heat! Most pre-made curry seasonings I\u2019ve tried pack a lot of heat and spice. This can be tough for small kids especially.<\/p>\n

Making your own DIY spice mix allows you to tailor the heat to just the right level for your family. You can also tweak the recipe and leave out any spices you don\u2019t like.<\/p>\n

How to Use Curry Powder<\/h3>\n

There are plenty of traditional Indian recipes and adaptations that work welll with curry powder. It also works well as a seasoning for sweet potatoes, roasted chickpeas, and chicken.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t think you like curry, it could be you didn\u2019t have the right blend for your tastes. Give making your own curry powder a try. Start by adding it in small amounts to simple recipes like meats, roasted vegetables, or soups and work up from there.<\/p>\n
