Curry Powder Quick Facts
- Curry powder originates from British India and is not the same as garam masala
- Curry powder is a spice mix that consists of ginger, garlic, fennel, mace, cumin, coriander, cardamom, cinnamon, and turmeric; this mix is intended to replicate the native flavoring of traditional Indian sauce
- The “powder was used as an ingredient in 18th-century British recipe books” and was available for purchase in the late 18th-century, with brands like Crosse & Blackwell and Sharwood’s lasting until modern days
- It was introduced to Japan in the mid-19th century
- The word curry is derived from the Tamil word ‘kari,’ which means sauce or relish for rice
