MA's Kitchen Roasted Curry Powder is a Sri Lankan curry blend of eleven spices: chilli, coriander, cumin, fenugreek, pepper, curry leaves, fennel, ginger, clove, mustard and cardamom. The spices are roasted before grinding, which darkens the colour and gives the powder a deeper, toastier fragrance than an unroasted blend.
Roasted curry powder is the backbone of many Sri Lankan meat and fish curries, giving them their dark colour and rich aroma, and it also adds depth to heartier vegetable dishes. It is often added partway through cooking or sprinkled in near the end, so its roasted notes stay to the fore. The 100g pack is a practical size for home cooks who want a dependable Sri Lankan curry base in the cupboard.

How to use
Use in meat, chicken and fish curries: fry onion, garlic and curry leaves, add the meat with a spoonful or two of the powder and a little salt, stir to coat, then add coconut milk or water and simmer until tender. A further pinch stirred in towards the end of cooking brings out the roasted aroma. It also suits hearty vegetable curries such as potato or jackfruit.
