Organic Spices

Curry powder is made from a mix of spices that are used widely in Indian cuisine. There are subtle variations that are available when you buy curry powder, but it is always handy to have the powder on hand and premixed so it is ready to use when culinary inspiration strikes.

Curry powder often includes a mixture of fenugreek, turmeric, coriander and cumin spices. Other spices, such as ginger, fennel, cardamom, nutmeg, cinnamon, or red and black peppers, may also be added for variation.

Curry powders can be used to flavor a plethora of different foods. Satay, a dish made with chicken, beef, pork, other meats or vegetable chunks that are grilled, uses curry. Shellfish such as crab can be brightened with the addition of a pinch of curry. Curry can be added to ground meats to season simple meat patties and burgers.

Vegetable main dishes benefit from the addition of curry. You might try a soup made from butternut squash and apple with a hint of curry for a thick soup with complex flavors. You can make sweet and savory nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, with the addition of curry to taste. Couscous, a grain dish, can also be seasoned with a dash of curry and a handful of dried fruit.

A curry can be made using chicken. Typically a variety of vegetables are included, and the dish is served over a bed of white rice, sometimes basmati rice. Little fried batters with chicken meat fillings can be seasoned with curry as well.

Condiments can be flavored with curry. Try adding a bit to your mayonnaise that you might use with a seafood filling on a sandwich roll. Salads that feature vegetables and fruits are well set off with the addition of a curry dressing.
