Every cook has their own recipe, making the taste vary slightly from person to person; and while the variety of spices are endless, the most commonly used in
yellow curry are coriander, cumin,
mustard, chili powder, ginger, garlic, cardamom, cinnamon, and tumeric —
giving the curry it's
yellow color.
Turmeric is a spicy root like ginger that's used in a variety of condiments and spices including prepared
mustard (which
gives it that
yellow color), various curry blends, and a host of Indian condiments and sauces.
