Mild curry powder is a blend of ground spices commonly used in cooking to add flavor, aroma, and color to a wide variety of dishes, especially in stews, soups, rice dishes, and sauces. This blend typically contains turmeric, cumin, coriander, fenugreek, ginger, and sometimes cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves, among other ingredients, but in a mild version to avoid overly spicy or intense flavors.
Origin: Curry powder has its roots in Indian cuisine, where spices have been combined for centuries to create different mixtures known as "masalas." The commercial version of curry powder became popular in British and global cuisine as a practical way to bring several condiments together in a single product. Today, it is a fundamental ingredient in various cuisines, from Indian to Southeast Asian and international cooking.
Properties: In addition to its culinary function, mild curry powder has antioxidant and digestive properties thanks to ingredients like turmeric and cumin. It is low in calories and can be a good source of minerals such as iron and manganese. Its warm and aromatic flavor enhances dishes without adding strong heat, making it ideal for those who prefer delicate and balanced flavors.
Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America: In some regions, mild curry powder may simply be known as curry en polvo, mezcla de curry suave, or condimento de curry suave. It usually does not have a specific different name, although in local markets it may also be identified as polvo de especias para curry.
