Answer 2

The easiest to use if you can get it would be Patak's curry pastes. (Buy the curry paste NOT the curry sauces because you can make 4 times as much with the paste!) As someone suggested the Madras is excellent but a bit hot. If you don't want it hot the use the "Mild" paste. I suugest Patak's because although I usually make my own blends, I love Patak's more than any other (I also like not having to do all that work!)

If you want it really special, add in a half cup of sour cream or yogurt and two tablespoons of ground toasted almonds about 15 minutes before the end of cooking...............

Answer 3

I usually don't add to much dry masalas in my curry just the garam masala. take hot oil in a wok,then add cumin seeds when they splutter add chopped onion,ginger garlic paste.when brown add tomatoes,one spoon of yogurt and add garam masala.Add chicken and cook till chicken is done.

Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.

Enjoy!

Answer 4

Seriously, I would buy a curry paste such as Madras for MUCH better results than a curry powder. The combination will already have the necessary oil and spices in a good combination.

They also have a recipe on the side that tells you what to do. It's cheating a tiny bit but it's the only way I can make a decent curry.

Answer 6

normally different indian family have their combination of spices to make curry powder. By ready combined curry powder or paste if avaliable.

Most recipes and producers of curry powder usually include coriander, turmeric, cumin, and fenugreek in their blends. Depending on the recipe, additional ingredients such as ginger, garlic, fennel seed, cinnamon, clove, mustard seed, green cardamom, black cardamom, mace, nutmeg, red pepper, long pepper, and black pepper may also be added.

i have found a recipe for Mild Curry Powder see site
