[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text woodmart_inline="no" text_larger="no"]Recently, on one of our spice ads, we had a request for a Sri Lankan curry recipe. This gave us some inspiration to give some information on this authentic mix used in most, if not all, Sri Lankan kitchens. This blend of spices, consisting of roasted coriander, fenugreek, and cumin seeds, is perfect for producing authentic Sri Lankan cuisine.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text woodmart_inline="no" text_larger="no"]The Sri Lankan curry powder spice blend holds immense importance in the country's culinary culture. It is a quintessential ingredient in almost all Sri Lankan dishes, from curries and stews to soups and snacks. Sri Lankan cuisine is known for its bold and vibrant flavors, and the curry powder spice blend is one of the main contributors to this.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text woodmart_inline="no" text_larger="no"]But first, let's talk a bit more about the spices themselves. Roasted coriander is a key ingredient in many spice blends, and its warm, nutty flavor is essential for creating depth in curries and other dishes. Fenugreek, on the other hand, has a slightly bitter taste but adds a lovely earthy aroma and sweetness to dishes. Finally, cumin seeds offer a warm, spicy flavor that rounds out the blend and gives it a unique taste.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text woodmart_inline="no" text_larger="no"]Here's how to make a delicious Sri Lankan chicken curry using this spice mix:[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row content_placement="middle" woodmart_css_id="645cb1897b4a5" responsive_spacing="eyJwYXJhbV90eXBlIjoid29vZG1hcnRfcmVzcG9uc2l2ZV9zcGFjaW5nIiwic2VsZWN0b3JfaWQiOiI2NDVjYjE4OTdiNGE1Iiwic2hvcnRjb2RlIjoidmNfcm93IiwiZGF0YSI6eyJ0YWJsZXQiOnt9LCJtb2JpbGUiOnt9fX0=" mobile_bg_img_hidden="no" tablet_bg_img_hidden="no" woodmart_parallax="0" woodmart_gradient_switch="no" woodmart_box_shadow="no" wd_z_index="no" woodmart_disable_overflow="0" row_reverse_mobile="0" row_reverse_tablet="0"][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_custom_heading text="Ingredients:" font_container="tag:h5|text_align:left" use_theme_fonts="yes"][woodmart_list icon_fontawesome="fas fa-circle" woodmart_css_id="645caf453a7eb" list_items_gap="eyJkZXZpY2VzIjp7ImRlc2t0b3AiOnsidW5pdCI6InB4IiwidmFsdWUiOiIxNSJ9LCJ0YWJsZXQiOnsidW5pdCI6InB4IiwidmFsdWUiOiIwIn0sIm1vYmlsZSI6eyJ1bml0IjoicHgiLCJ2YWx1ZSI6IjAifX0sInNlbGVjdG9yX2lkIjoiNjQ1Y2FmNDUzYTdlYiIsInNob3J0Y29kZSI6Indvb2RtYXJ0X2xpc3QiLCJzZWxlY3RvcnMiOnsie3tXUkFQUEVSfX0ud2QtbGlzdCI6WyItLWxpLW1iOiB7e1ZBTFVFfX17e1VOSVR9fTsiXX19" list="%5B%7B%22list-content%22%3A%221%20pound%20of%20chicken%2C%20cut%20into%20bite-sized%20pieces%22%2C%22item_type%22%3A%22inherit%22%7D%2C%7B%22list-content%22%3A%221%20onion%2C%20finely%20chopped%22%2C%22item_type%22%3A%22inherit%22%7D%2C%7B%22list-content%22%3A%222%20garlic%20cloves%2C%20minced%22%2C%22item_type%22%3A%22inherit%22%7D%2C%7B%22list-content%22%3A%221-inch%20piece%20of%20ginger%2C%20grated%22%2C%22item_type%22%3A%22inherit%22%7D%2C%7B%22list-content%22%3A%222%20tomatoes%2C%20chopped%22%2C%22item_type%22%3A%22inherit%22%7D%2C%7B%22list-content%22%3A%222%20tablespoons%20of%20the%20Sri%20Lankan%20spice%20blend%20(roasted%20coriander%2C%20fenugreek%2C%20and%20cumin%20seeds)%22%2C%22item_type%22%3A%22inherit%22%7D%2C%7B%22list-content%22%3A%221%20tablespoon%20chili%20powder%22%2C%22item_type%22%3A%22inherit%22%7D%2C%7B%22list-content%22%3A%221%2F2%20cup%20coconut%20milk%22%2C%22item_type%22%3A%22inherit%22%7D%2C%7B%22list-content%22%3A%22Salt%2C%20to%20taste%22%2C%22item_type%22%3A%22inherit%22%7D%2C%7B%22list-content%22%3A%222%20tablespoons%20of%20vegetable%20oil%22%2C%22item_type%22%3A%22inherit%22%7D%5D" responsive_spacing="eyJwYXJhbV90eXBlIjoid29vZG1hcnRfcmVzcG9uc2l2ZV9zcGFjaW5nIiwic2VsZWN0b3JfaWQiOiI2NDVjYWY0NTNhN2ViIiwic2hvcnRjb2RlIjoid29vZG1hcnRfbGlzdCIsImRhdGEiOnsidGFibGV0Ijp7fSwibW9iaWxlIjp7fX19"][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][woodmart_image woodmart_css_id="645cbed108253" img_id="9251" img_size="full" display_inline="no" parallax_scroll="no" responsive_spacing="eyJwYXJhbV90eXBlIjoid29vZG1hcnRfcmVzcG9uc2l2ZV9zcGFjaW5nIiwic2VsZWN0b3JfaWQiOiI2NDVjYmVkMTA4MjUzIiwic2hvcnRjb2RlIjoid29vZG1hcnRfaW1hZ2UiLCJkYXRhIjp7InRhYmxldCI6e30sIm1vYmlsZSI6e319fQ==" woodmart_box_shadow="no" wd_hide_on_desktop="no" wd_hide_on_tablet_landscape="no" wd_hide_on_tablet="no" wd_hide_on_mobile="no"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text="Instructions:" font_container="tag:h5|text_align:left" use_theme_fonts="yes"][vc_column_text woodmart_inline="no" text_larger="no"]Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
