Curry Powder – British Blend
You won’t being seeing curry powder in any authentic Indian recipes. Curry powder is a spice blend unique to locales outside of India. Rumor has it that during the British colonization of India, a British officer asked a merchant to throw together a mixture of Indian spices to take back to the motherland just before boarding the ship. The practice became a norm and soon the spice blend containing a full battery of Indian spices became an integral part of English cuisine.
Garam Masala Indian Spice Blend
Garam masala translates roughly as “heat mixture” in the sense of body heat and like Chinese 5 Spice Powder was likely concocted based on the belief that the mixture could raise body temperature or otherwise contribute to wellness. Both have very similar ingredients, with the Chinese blend being slightly sweeter. Garam Masala is used in many traditional recipes throughout all Indian cuisines and other Asian cuisines in the region.
Chinese 5 Spice
There are two prevailing theories as to how this mixture of spices got its name and neither one is based on the number of ingredients. In fact, 5 Spice Powder often is made with more than five ingredients. One theory states that the spice blend was designed to assist in keeping the five elements of Chinese medicine that exist in the human body, wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, in balance. Another states that the powder was concocted to satisfy all the five senses of taste: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami. Only problem with that theory is that the name of the spice blend existed for centuries prior to our identification of the fifth taste sensation, umami, in 1908.
