Curry Mumbai — a mild, fruity Indian curry blend with vanilla and cardamom
Curry Mumbai is a fruity-floral curry blend with mild heat and an unusual vanilla note. We compose it in our workshop in Klingenberg am Main from eighteen ingredients: turmeric, coriander, fenugreek, fennel, black pepper, cumin, mace, lemongrass, chili, cinnamon blossom, mustard, galangal, long pepper, nigella, cardamom, cloves, orange peel and vanilla. Mumbai delivers the exotic sweetness and freshness that classic curry blends often lack.
How to use
Curry Mumbai is ideal for mild curries with vegetables, poultry or fish. The vanilla and orange notes also make it an insider tip for desserts, creams, ice cream, rice pudding and chocolate puddings. Sweat briefly in hot oil or ghee, then add liquid or your main ingredient.
Good to know: Curry Mumbai is mild but very aromatic. Work your way up carefully — half a teaspoon per person is usually enough to start, especially with desserts.
