Hot Madras Curry Powder
This
is
my
version
of
a
classic
curry
powder,
named
after
the
Indian
city
of
Madras
which
is
nowadays
called
Chennai.
This
is
a
typical
spice
mix
from
England
with
its
roots
in
India.
I
created
this
curry
mixture
to
have
my
own
signature
curry
powder
that
is
a
little
spicier
than
common
curry
powders.
Use
this
spice
mix
with
any
kind
of meat, fish, vegetables or dairy products.
