Frequently Asked Questions About Curry spice
What is Curry spice?
Curry spice is a blend of ground spices used to season dishes associated with South Asian cooking. There is no single standard recipe, so its colour, aroma and flavour vary between brands and homemade versions.
What is in Curry spice?
Curry spice commonly includes turmeric, coriander, cumin and fenugreek; some blends also contain ginger, black pepper, cardamom or chilli. The ingredients and proportions are not fixed, so check the specific blend if you need to know exactly what it contains.
How do you use Curry spice?
Add Curry spice to simmering sauces, soups, lentils, roasted vegetables or meat dishes. Briefly warming it in oil with onions can bring out its aroma, but avoid scorching it, which can make the flavour bitter. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste.
Is Curry spice the same as curry powder?
Curry spice and curry powder usually refer to the same kind of seasoning blend in English, though recipes and names vary by seller. Neither has one fixed formula, so one product may taste milder, hotter or more earthy than another.
Is Curry spice hot or spicy?
Curry spice is not necessarily hot. Its heat depends on whether, and how much, chilli or cayenne is included; some blends are mild and fragrant, while others are noticeably fiery. Add it gradually if you are unfamiliar with the blend.
What is the difference between Curry spice and garam masala?
Curry spice often contains turmeric and is commonly added while a dish cooks. Garam masala is a different blend, often featuring spices such as cardamom, cloves and cinnamon, and is frequently stirred in near the end. Recipes for both vary.
Does Curry spice contain curry leaves?
Curry spice does not necessarily contain curry leaves. Curry leaves are a separate aromatic leaf used in some South Asian cooking; the name of the spice blend does not guarantee that they are an ingredient. Check the blend’s ingredient list if this matters.
What can I use instead of Curry spice?
For a similar flavour, combine cumin, coriander and turmeric, then add black pepper and a little ginger. Garam masala can work in some recipes, but it will taste different and may not provide the same colour. Add a substitute gradually and taste as you cook.
How do you make Curry spice at home?
Mix ground coriander, cumin, turmeric, black pepper and ginger to make a simple homemade Curry spice, then add chilli or other spices to suit your taste. There is no canonical ratio, so make a small batch and adjust it for the dishes you cook.
How should Curry spice be stored?
Keep Curry spice in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry cupboard, away from sunlight, steam and the stove. Moisture and heat dull its aroma. If the blend has lost most of its smell, it will also contribute less flavour to food.

What is Curry spice?
Curry spice is an aromatic blend of ground spices rather than one fixed recipe. Turmeric, coriander and cumin are common, while some blends include fenugreek or other spices. The proportions vary by maker; curry powder as sold in many English-speaking countries is often used for South Asian-inspired dishes, though it is not a single traditional Indian recipe.
Its warm, earthy flavour works well in sauces, soups, lentils, vegetables, rice and meat dishes. Stir it briefly into oil or add it to a simmering sauce so the aroma spreads through the dish. In the small amounts usually used, it mainly contributes flavour; the nutrition figures per 100 g are less representative of a typical serving. Choose a blend with no added salt if you want to control the seasoning yourself.
