Description

Fish curry powder is a spice blend specially formulated to enhance the flavor of fish and seafood. This mixture typically includes aromatic ingredients such as turmeric, coriander, cumin, fenugreek, fennel, mustard, and sometimes a touch of chili or pepper, adapted to complement the delicacy of fish without overpowering it.

Its origin lies in the culinary tradition of South Asia, particularly in India and Sri Lanka, where curry is a fundamental staple of the cuisine. Over time, this blend has evolved and diversified for different uses, including specific versions for fish that highlight its flavors and textures.

Fish curry powder is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, derived mainly from turmeric and cumin. It also provides a characteristic aroma and an ideal balance of warm and spicy spices that enhance the dish without making it too overpowering.

In Latin America, although the most common term is "polvo de curry para pescado", it may also be referred to as "mezcla de curry para mariscos" or simply "polvo de curry amarillo" when used for preparations with fish and seafood.
