I had a great time buying spices. Can I get a I don't buy curry powder much; it was a British invention, and Indian people don't usually use it (though they do use garam masala, usually as a final sprinkle.) They make a spice mixture for each dish at the time they cook it, and they toast the spices first, which does lovely things for the flavor, not to mention the aroma of the house. That's what i do when I have time and energy. When I can't, I use curry paste, preferably Patak's. It's SO much better than the powder--loads more complex, and it's rich and mellow. Gives nicer color, too. Rain @@@@ \\\\\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
