This spice blend has been something I’ve been working on for a while — a carefully curated mix made with only the best quality spices. It’s warm, aromatic, and incredibly versatile, but it shines brightest in this curry. The blend brings out deep, rich flavors without overpowering, which makes it a wonderful partner to a lightly oaked white wine like Avontuur’s Chardonnay.
This recipe is a go-to in my kitchen. It’s simple, quick, low in fat, and absolutely packed with flavor. Whether you’re hosting friends or just craving something comforting for dinner, this curry never disappoints.
