Curry Powder
About Me.
Curry Powder is a versatile and aromatic spice blend that brings together a variety of ground spices to recreate the rich and complex flavors found in traditional Indian curries. While not native to India itself, curry powder was originally created by the British to capture the essence of Indian cuisine in a ready-to-use format.
Today, it is widely used across the globe in both home kitchens and the food industry.
This golden-hued blend typically includes turmeric, coriander, cumin, fenugreek, chili, black pepper, ginger, garlic, mustard seeds, and sometimes cinnamon, cardamom, or cloves. The exact formulation can vary based on regional preferences or specific culinary applications.
At Vishvam Exports, we offer high-quality, custom-blended Curry Powders made from freshly ground spices, ensuring consistent taste, aroma, and color. Our blends are crafted under strict quality control measures, catering to diverse taste profiles and international culinary standards.
