What Is Afro-Caribbean Curry Powder? And How to Cook With It
Costack SpicesAfro-Caribbean curry powder blends Indian curry spices with Caribbean warmth, using more turmeric, ginger and warm aromatics than a standard curry powder. It is built for stews, curried rice, and Caribbean chicken or goat curry. Costack Mild Curry Powder is made in this style.
What is Afro-Caribbean curry powder?
It is a fusion blend. Indian curry spices like turmeric, coriander, cumin and fenugreek meet Caribbean warmth from ginger, clove and nutmeg, giving a golden, warming, mild-to-medium curry that is distinct from a standard supermarket curry powder. Costack Mild Curry Powder is a 13-spice example of this style.
How is it different from regular curry powder?
More turmeric and ginger, a fuller spice count, and a warm rather than fiery heat. Standard curry powder often uses three or four spices, where a proper Afro-Caribbean blend like Costack's uses thirteen.
How to cook with it
Fry onion until soft, add about two tablespoons per kilo of meat or vegetables, toast for thirty seconds, then add tomato or coconut milk and simmer. It is excellent in goat curry, chicken curry, curried rice and lentil dal. Costack Mild Curry Powder works in all of these.
The easy option
Costack Mild Curry Powder is a 13-spice blend balancing turmeric, coriander, cumin, fenugreek, ginger and mustard, mild enough for the family, from £2.99.
