Not all curries are
the same. Anyone who has grown up eating buss-up-shot, doubles, or friedbake knows this. Curry, like chili is not made up of one ingredient, but is a wonderful
orchestra of spices.
I’ve notice that a
lot of people buy curry sauce from the grocery store and use that as a base,
but a trick my mom taught me needs to start with dried, ground up spices. Normally
I would buy a bottle of curry powder at the grocery, but a couple of years ago I
thought it would be interesting to try making my own curry powder. I still keep
a grocery store bought bottle of curry powder for those times I may be out of key
ingredients to make my own.
I purchase most of
my herbs, spices and teas in bulk from the Monterey Bay Company. They have a plethora of
organic and non-organic options.
