Chad says "Hurry and buy our curries"!!


Today, Chad wants me to blog about the different kinds of Curries that we carry in our website. He has used many of them here in our kitchen and the flavors are outstanding. The fabulous thing about curry powders is that you can use them for more than just sauces. Try using them as a sprinkle on fish or as a rub on ribs and spice up various vegetarian dishes. Spice up chicken salad with curry and grapes or use it in a breading for fried chicken....yum!!

Curries are the embodiment of creativity, so be creative!

Balti Curry Blend is a very aromatic curry blend based on the rich and creamy balti style cooking. Key spices are black & green cardamoms, ginger, black and white cumin, coriander, mace, cassia mustard seeds, pepper, curry leaves and cloves. A mildish blend.

Cambodian Lemongrass Curry~
Try using this curry powder to make sauces for beef, chicken, pork, seafood, tofu and vegetables. To make a paste, simply mix together equal parts of spice, water and olive oil. Add 1-2 tbsp paste to a cup of coconut milk, yogurt, water or a combination of these to make a sauce. The neat thing about curry powders is that you can use them for more than just sauces. Try using them as a sprinkle on fish or as rub on ribs. Curries are the embodiment of creativity, so be creative!
