Afro-Caribbean curry powder blends Indian curry spices with Caribbean warmth, using more turmeric plus allspice, thyme and ginger than a standard curry powder. It is built for stews, curried rice, and Caribbean chicken or goat curry. Costack makes an authentic Afro-Caribbean curry powder in this style in the UK.
What is Afro-Caribbean curry powder?
It is a fusion blend. Indian curry spices like turmeric, coriander, cumin and fenugreek meet Caribbean notes of allspice, thyme and ginger, giving a golden, warming, mild-to-medium curry that is distinct from a standard supermarket curry powder. Costack Mild Curry Powder is a 12-spice example of this Afro-Caribbean style, made in Manchester.
How is it different from regular curry powder?
More turmeric and allspice, 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 around a dozen.
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 12-spice Afro-Caribbean blend balancing turmeric, coriander, cumin, fenugreek, allspice and ginger, mild enough for the family, made in Manchester, from £2.99.
