Curry Powder is actually a spice blend of turmeric, cumin, black pepper, and ginger – some also contain cinnamon and garlic. This pungent spice blend blooms when added to hot oil, creating a depth of flavor that is unmatched. This dip is perfect for cool, crisp vegetables such as carrots and celery or as a spread for sandwiches.
