Curry SAMIA is a blend of fourteen spices in a 100 g bag, based on cumin, fennel, fenugreek, mustard, coriander, hot chilli and turmeric. Its colour is golden to amber, and it is mainly used to prepare dishes in sauce, such as chicken curry with coconut milk.
What is curry SAMIA?
“Curry” is a generic name that, outside India, refers to a ready-to-use spice blend inspired by South Asian cuisines: there is no single recipe, each brand has its own. Curry SAMIA combines cumin, fennel, fenugreek, mustard, coriander, hot chilli, turmeric, bay leaves, curry leaves, garlic, cloves, star anise, potato starch and salt. It is made from spices of Indian origin.
How to use it?
Sauté the curry in a little oil with onion and garlic to wake up its aromas, then add meat, fish or vegetables and a liquid (water, stock, coconut milk) before leaving it to simmer. The most common dish is chicken curry with coconut milk, where the roundness of the coconut balances the heat of the blend. It also flavours rice, sautéed vegetables, lentils and marinades.
What to pair it with?
With coconut milk GRACE for a creamy curry, or with ground turmeric SAMIA to intensify a dish's colour. For a spicier version, try curry madras SAMIA. The African spices and sauces range brings together other blends from the same range.
