Welcome to the vibrant spice world of southern Indian cuisine! We’ve been relishing the flavors of our latest release, Golden Curry Blend. This warming mix features turmeric and coconut milk powder as the flavor powerhouses. Higher notes of ginger and coriander sing forward. And everything is rounded off with mild chili and cumin.
We’re excited to share several ways to use Golden Curry Blend in your own kitchen. Each of these recipes focuses on ease and simplicity while still delivering full-on flavor. Use these instructions as suggestions and feel free to color outside the lines!
This blend can be substituted in any recipe that calls for curry powder (just scale back on the additional salt since this blend is salted). And we always encourage you to try our blends on your daily staples–mix into scrambled eggs, coat your roasted potatoes, sprinkle on buttered noodles. Start simple and then let your imagination go wild.
