Copycat Curry

You've seen this before, and rather recently, too. My copycat curry that I stole from Peter. Lovely stuff, especially when it's cold and nasty out. You can clicky the link if you want the recipe.

But, it's not the curry I wanted to tell you about today, it's the curry powder.

Now, I know that one can make one's own from various spices and that, if one is a truly dedicated foodie, one does. I don't. No matter what that says about me, I am fine with the ones I can buy in the store. I've used Spice Islands for years - I love that heavy, musky, rich flavor.

But I have a new love now. Having run out of my usual brand, I rushed down to the local market and discovered that they carry an organic brand of spices with the cutesy moniker of Spicely. They come in small containers, so it's easier to use them up before they lose potency and the curry flavor is even better than my previous love. No salt is added, either, which is good for our blood pressures. The flavor is strong and rich but not too spicy, rather like my previous brand.

I guess I could have taken a picture of the little plastic container but doesn't the copycat curry look more appetizing?
