Notes ∞

You can use Curry Powder but this is only a combination of the common spices

• coriander — Make sure that the coriander content is not too large – less then 30%.
• black pepper
• white pepper
• chillies — Red curry uses red chillis and green curry uses green chillis.

• cumin, turmeric — Yellow curry

Also some curry powders use funny ingredients (aniseed), so you will have to try a little first.

the best curry I’ve had so far:
