Curry Starter Bottle

Curry blends are a British invention, a way to replicate the flavors of India at home. In most Indian households, you won’t find a specific curry blend. Instead you’ll find whole spices, ground spices, and a few masalas that are combined with aromatics to create the complex layers of flavor in Indian food. The types of spices can change from state to state, even family to family. Nowadays, many Indian cooks refer to a dish as a curry as a category of food the same way as a soup or salad. It usually means it is a dish that has a spiced gravy with it. It can be vegetarian, with meat or fish, tomato based, yogurt based or finished with coconut milk. Our curry starter is based on the one of the dishes my mom would make growing up that she generically called curry. We provide the spices and, you just add the fresh ingredients. As you can see in the recipe below, this is just a starting point. You can create variations of the dish and play with it to make it your own.   Ingredients: 1 me
