Madras Curry Powder is a bold and spicy South Indian–style curry blend known for its deep heat, vibrant yellow color, and full-bodied aroma. Named after the city of Madras (now Chennai), this curry powder is defined by its warm spices and higher chili content, making it noticeably hotter than many other curry blends.

Turmeric provides the signature golden color, while chili peppers and mustard seeds deliver a strong, lingering heat. Coriander, cumin, fenugreek, and other traditional spices round out the blend, creating a robust balance of earthy, savory, and slightly tangy notes. The result is a versatile curry powder that enriches a wide range of dishes.

Madras Curry Powder is excellent for meat, poultry, seafood, and plant-based curries. It also works well in marinades, sauces, soups, roasted vegetables, and stews, adding depth and a distinctive spicy kick.
