Curry Powder Mild

A mild curry powder of coriander, cumin, fennel, fenugreek, black pepper, red chilli, curry leaves, turmeric, garlic, cinnamon and mustard seed. Earthy and citrusy with a subtle sweetness, it carries only a hint of heat, so the aromatics come through where a hot blend would bury them.

It holds the same components as a hot curry powder, weighted differently: the chilli and black pepper step back and the fennel, cinnamon and curry leaf come forward, giving a soft, full-bodied aroma rather than an intense one.

How to use it

Use it for meats, vegetables, soups and sauces across Indian, Caribbean and fusion recipes, starting at two teaspoons per 500g. It is the better choice when cooking for mixed company or for children. Technique tip: because there is little chilli to mask it, any rawness in the powder shows, so fry it in oil with the onions for a full minute, until the kitchen smells of it, before adding any liquid.

The shaker jar

The jar option is packed in a clear 8 oz shaker jar made from lightweight, food-safe PET, so the colour and texture of the blend are visible at a glance. The flip-top cap opens to a three-hole sifter for an even sprinkle straight over the pan, the grill or the plate, and closes again with a simple press. A pressure-sensitive liner seals the jar until first use, and the fitted cap keeps the blend fresh between uses. When a recipe calls for a measured spoonful, simply unscrew the cap; the wide mouth takes a teaspoon with ease. Once empty, the jar is easy to refill with your next Ameen blend and makes a practical home for dried herbs, chilli flakes, sesame seeds or homemade rubs. Hand wash only.
