Curry Powder
Madras Masala
A warm, all-purpose blend built on roasted coriander and cumin, golden turmeric, fenugreek and chilli, in the Madras style refined for Western kitchens. Earthy and aromatic with a gentle hum of heat, it is the shortcut to a fragrant curry sauce, a seasoning for roast vegetables or a lift for soups and marinades. Stir it into oil at the start of cooking to bloom the spices.

Questions
- Is masala the same as curry powder?
- Not quite. In India, masala simply means a spice mix and varies dish by dish. Curry powder is a standardised, Madras-style blend developed for Western kitchens, giving one ready-balanced mix of coriander, cumin, turmeric, fenugreek and chilli.
- How spicy is it?
- Mild to medium. The warmth comes from a measured amount of chilli, balanced by earthy coriander, cumin and turmeric, so it suits the whole table. Add fresh chilli if you want more heat.
- How do I get the best flavour from it?
- Bloom it. Stir the powder into warm oil with onions or garlic for a minute before adding liquid; gentle heat releases the aromatic oils and deepens the flavour of the finished dish.
