FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long does curry powder last?
It typically stays fresh for 1 to 3 years if stored properly, though it loses its aromatic potency over time.
Is curry powder the same as garam masala?
No, curry powder usually contains turmeric and is intended to be cooked into a dish, while garam masala is often added at the end for aroma.
What is a good substitute for curry powder?
A mix of cumin, coriander, and turmeric (with a pinch of chili powder) is the best alternative.
Is curry powder spicy?
It varies by brand; 'Mild' versions have little heat, while 'Madras' or 'Hot' versions contain more dried chilies.
Does curry powder contain gluten?
Pure spices are gluten-free, but some commercial blends use flour as an anti-caking agent, so check the label.
Can I freeze curry powder?
Yes, you can freeze it in an airtight container to extend its shelf life, but ensure no moisture gets inside.
Why is my curry powder bitter?
It may be old, or it may have been scorched in hot oil during the cooking process.
How do I know if my curry powder is still good?
Rub a small amount between your fingers; if the aroma is weak or non-existent, the spice has lost its flavor.
