A note about curry powder

Curry powder is a blend of spices that can vary widely depending on the region and cuisine it is used in. Different brands and blends of curry powder can also have varying levels of heat and flavor intensity.

Madras curry powder is a popular blend of spices that originated in southern India. It typically includes a combination of ground coriander, cumin, turmeric, mustard seeds, and red chili powder. Madras curry powder is known for its deep, rich and spicy flavor.

• For a smoother sauce: blend the onion, garlic, and ginger mixture in a food processor or blender before adding to the pan.
• Adjust the spice level: add more or less Madras Curry Powder and other spices like cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to your liking.
• If the sauce is too thick: add a splash of water or vegetable broth to thin it out.
• Simmer until the sauce reaches your desired thickness: simmer the sauce on low to reduce the amount of liquid. See the tips in the post above for other ways to thicken this curry sauce.
