India is the origin of curry, a name widely recognised all over the world. Because of varied physical form, aroma and flavour an individual spice does not produce the preferred flavour. Indian curry powder is the answer to it. Known as 'curry powder' to the Indians, or simply as 'curry' to the international consumer, the product is a careful blend of selected spices to add pep, flavour and aroma to a wide range of exotic dishes.

Spices are ground and mixed in certain definite proportions to produce curry powder. Some of the important ingredients in curry powder are coriander, turmeric, chillies, cumin, pepper, ginger, cinnamon, cassia, clove etc. It also contains and edible common salt and sometimes added starch. A wide range of products are covered under the category 'Curry'. This includes straight powder, mixed powder, curry powder, curry mixture, masalas, curry paste and seasoning.

Another Indian speciality is a full complement of spice mixes. These mixes impart a distinct flavour to a variety of food preparations such as tandoori chicken, fish, meat, vegetables, tea and noodles. India is the major supplier of high-quality curry powders and spice mixes to the world.
