| HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN CURRY POWDER BLEND?
Curry powder has been around for more than four thousand years. It is a blend of spices that originated with the spice trade in Egypt, India, Sumer, and Northeast Africa.
Curry dishes exude the luxurious and exotic aromas of an Indian spice market- sweet, warm, spicy, and savory. In India, every household has its own signature blend of spices that make up their own unique curry powder. Families protect their curry powder recipe with fervor and it is often passed down from generation to generation. If you have tried the packaged curry powder sold on grocery store shelves, you have never really tried curry. Blending your own not only gives you fresher spices but also lets you tailor the blend to your own preferences. Some people prefer a spicier blend, some sweeter, and some like one or another of the spices in the blend to take center stage.
Chef Devagi Sanmugam bares it all!!! Learn the art of choosing the right spices, preparing, grinding, blending and storing! This is the first time such a workshop is being conducted in Singapore and by the Spice Queen herself at the Spice Queen!!
• Basic Madras Curry Powder
• Meat Curry Powder
• Seafood Curry Powder
• Vegetable Curry Powder
• Garam Masala Powder
You will also learn two dishes using the curry powder prepared!!
Wednesday 30th September 2009 7.00 pm – 9.30 pm $100.00
