Description

Looking to fight cancer, guard against Alzheimer's, balance your blood sugar and get a heap of antioxidants? Learn to love curry.

The commonly used ingredients in curry powder include turmeric, cardamom, chiles, cinnamon, cloves, coriander, cumin, fennel seed, fenugreek, mace, nutmeg, red and black pepper, poppy and sesame seeds, saffron, and tamarind.

Curry powder comes in two varieties-standard and "Madras" - which is the spicier of the varieties.
