Curry powder is a blend of spices and herbs originating from India used to flavor food. Do you know Curry has spread around the world from India? But interestingly, the word “curry” is actually a creation of the West. It appeared in British cookbooks in the 18th century. Now it will be so much more fun when you make this world spread spice at home. This allows you to customize it to your own personal tastes.
We are here with a basic curry powder recipe that is made from spices that you already have in your home pantry. Curry powder can be used in any simple curry dish for easy exotic cooking.

Curry is best stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.
