S&B Oriental Curry Powder

3 oz tin - Tokyo, Japan

This curry powder is a spice blend commonly used in Asian cuisines, particularly in dishes that feature curries. Unlike traditional Indian curry powder, which is characterized by a rich, aromatic blend of spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, and fenugreek, oriental curry powder has its own unique flavor profile.

While the specific ingredients and ratios can vary, “oriental” curry powder typically includes a combination of spices that might include turmeric, coriander, cumin, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, fennel seeds, nutmeg, and chili powder. The proportions and additional spices used can vary depending on the specific regional or personal preferences.

The flavor of this Asian curry powder tends to be milder and less complex compared to Indian curry powders. It often has a balance of savory, aromatic, and slightly sweet notes, with less emphasis on the heat. Asian curry powder is known for its versatility and ability to add depth of flavor to various dishes.

In Asian cuisine, curry powder is commonly used in a variety of dishes such as curries (both meat and vegetable-based), stir-fries, soups, stews, marinades, and even as a seasoning for snacks. It can be used as a dry rub for meats or combined with coconut milk, broth, or other liquids to create flavorful sauces and gravies.
