• Use a good quality curry powder or spice mix: At the heart of every successful curry dish is a rich, robust and well-balanced blend of carefully selected herbs and spices. Fortunately, with Rajah’s range of Curry Powders and Pure Spice Blends, you don’t need to stress about creating the perfect spice blend. Instead, you can simply select a curry powder or pure spice blend from our range and watch the irresistible aroma and generous flavour unfold.
  
• Have a solid start: When cooking a curry, you should always start by frying onions, garlic – and ginger if you like – in oil as this is the foundation to create a curry base that’s full of flavour.
  
• Taste as you make: To ensure your curry is seasoned just right and has a heat level you like, it’s important to taste your curry as you go and adjust along the way to balance your curry flavours. Tasting as you go also enables you to adjust the heat level in your curry to make it perfect for your spice level preferences.
  
• Start the day before: Make your curry the day before you’d like to eat it to save you time and to let those wonderful curry flavours infuse overnight for a delicious curry dish the next day.
