curry powder

Curry powder

Curry powder is a spice mix of widely varying composition based on South Asian cuisine.

Curry powder is actually closer to the Tamil sambar powder, and the word "curry" is derived from the Tamil word kari meaning "sauce, relish for rice", or from the Kannada word karil or from the Telugu word kuura.
