While some of us might be tempted to reach for the store-bought pastes and sauces, making your own perfect curry from scratch couldn\u2019t be easier. With a few simple tricks, you can whip up a deliciously satisfying dish\u2014better than anything the local takeout or grocery store can offer.<\/p>\n

Sizzle your spice:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kick off your curry by heating whole spices in hot oil to unleash their flavor. Choose from cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and seeds for the perfect base to your dish. Fresh spices are the best choice and will keep for longer in the freezer.<\/p>\n

Wholesome choices:<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a common misconception that curries have to be unhealthy. For a more wholesome curry, simply soak almonds in water for an hour and blend to create an almond paste or choose tomato as an alternative to coconut milk. Spices such as chili and ginger are packed with benefits like antioxidants, which help fight viruses and can boost circulation.<\/p>\n

Take your time:<\/strong><\/p>\n

A good curry doesn\u2019t have to take hours but it\u2019s important to allow ingredients such as onions to cook properly, to get the most flavor out of them. Another trick is to save powered spices like garam masala until last. The cooking process reduces the flavor of dried spices, so it\u2019s best to wait until you\u2019re almost finished with the heat before adding to your mix.<\/p>\n

Season to taste:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tomato-based curries can benefit from a little sugar to take away the acidity and a pinch of salt can also balance the dish. If you accidentally go a little overboard with the seasoning, a twist of lemon juice will neutralize the excess.<\/p>\n

Garnish:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Transform your curry with a simple topping! Toasted sesame seeds, shredded coconut, or a sprinkle of fresh pomegranate will add another layer of depth to your creation.<\/p>\n

Leftovers:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Make curries go further by adding pulses like chickpeas and yellow split peas. Not only will it bulk out the meal, but pulses are great sources of protein and fiber, so this will give your dish a nutritional boost. As long as the rice is cooled quickly (i.e. run under cold water after cooking) and stored in the fridge, it\u2019s safe to reheat the next day\u2014or you can grab a pack of our handy Steamed Basmati Rice which takes just two minutes in the microwave!<\/p>\n
