Bo-Kaap Cape Malay Curry Powder – South African Spice Mixture, My take on Cape Malay curry powder; I devised this when I finally finished my precious box of this type of curry powder, that had been sent to me in a Herbs and Spices swap by Zurie! I checked the ingredients list and finally after a little trial and error, I came up with this, and it is a pretty close match! Influenced by Malay cuisine, Cape/Malay curry powder/masala is a blend of sweet and pungent spices to include cloves, cardamon, fennel, mustard, coriander, turmeric, fenugreek, a little chilli and black pepper. A curry powder/masala of a mild heat yet full of the flavours you expect in Indian curry. This curry spice mix is wonderful in all types of curries, but especially authentic Cape Malay style cuisine, and of course curries., Do you use green cardamom or the black cardamom ?, Sensational spice mixture. I made half a batch to use in your Bo-Kaap Cape Malay Kerrie Recipe #289231. Having enjoyed such curries in South Africa, I can vouch for the authenticity of this recipe. Absolutely perfect — and what a wonderful smell in the kitchen. Thanks so much for sharing your creative efforts.
