Ever bought a curry powder from the shop and realised that it didn't meet your expectations? Many curry powders try to create a complex flavour by adding too many spices together; sometimes they work, and sometimes they don't. We've tested our recipe for curry powder with multiple combinations of spices across many local recipes, and we must say "simplicity always wins". Ceylon Providore's Curry Powder is a beautiful amalgamation of 6 spices (Coriander seeds, Cumin, Fennel, Curry Leaves, Cloves and Pandan Leaves). This curry powder provides an excellent base for most curries.
What is it like taste-wise?
The coriander seed and cumin gives the curry powder a citrusy flavour with notes of sweetness. At the same time, fennel and cloves have a slight note of bitterness, heat and astringency that counterbalances the sweetness. Finally, the curry and pandan leaves give a refreshing tropical, grassy vanilla aroma coupled with a bit of bitterness. These freshest ingredients, mixed in the right proportions and grounded at the right temperature and consistency, makes Ceylon Providore's curry powder the perfect ingredient for any curry endeavours.
How much is too much spice?
It mostly depends on your appetite for spicy food. A good baseline for a good curry is one to two teaspoons of curry powder for a portion size of 1 to 2 persons. You can add more than two spoons of curry powder for a small portion if you feel adventurous but always know that more isn't always better. So give it a try, because it is worth it.
