Curry Spice Blend

Make a mouthwatering Malaysian curry with ease! This curry spice blend is based off of Auria's mum's weeknight curry.

We recommend chicken, pork, fish, shrimp, or squid. For vegetarian options, tofu, chick peas or a mix of your favorite veggies (cauliflower, potatoes, zucchini, green beans, baby corn, kidney beans etc.) will do nicely. 

 

Just add oil, coconut milk, water and salt.

Ingredients

Curry Spice Blend Ingredients: Shallots, garlic, turmeric, lemongrass, brown sugar, chilli powder, dried chillies, lime leaf, curry leaves, coriander, star anise, cloves and cinnamon.

How To Use: Curry Spice Blend

Malaysia is the land of a thousand curries. There are curries for every protein, vegetable, and tuber imaginable. There are time-intensive curries made for special occasions and quick curries for weeknight cooking. There are curries with and without coconut milk. Creamy curries, sour curries, Malay curries, Indian curries, yes even Chinese curries!

This particular Curry Spice Blend is inspired by my Mum's quick chicken curry that she made for dinner almost weekly. Using this spice pouch, you'll come very, very close to what I had for dinner as a girl growing up in Malaysia. The distinct blend of warm spices (cinnamon, star anise) and Southeast Asian aromatics (lime leaf, lemongrass)

My go-to for a weeknight curry is always bone-in chicken thighs, but this spice mix will work for beef, fish, tofu, veggies, potatoes, beans, or chick peas.  Oooooh, EGGS! Imagine this delicious curry with halved hard-boiled eggs. Yum, so good! The yolks soak up the curry and become little flavor bombs that just melt in your mouth. Heaven!

Here are just a few tips to help you make your delicious version at home:

1. For quick-cooking proteins (fish, shrimp, tofu, hard-boiled eggs, cooked chick peas) - follow the package directions closely - add all ingredients except for your protein to a pot, bring to boil, then simmer for ten minutes before adding your protein of choice.

2. For proteins that take a little longer to cook (beef, pork, bone-in chicken, mutton, lamb) - no need to boil and simmer the pouch contents first. Just add everything to your pot and proceed to bring it up to a slow boil, then turn down to simmer.

3. When cooking with coconut milk, never let your pot come to a rolling boil. A rolling boil will split or break the coconut milk, resulting in a lumpy curry. As soon as the curry gravy begins to bubble, turn it down to simmer.

4. For chicken and pork curries, Mum always added potatoes. Peel and cut two large Idaho potato into 8 pieces. Once your curry with the added protein has simmered for ten minutes, add the potatoes and cook until they're fork tender.

5. For extra credit: slice up a large red onion and sauté that in your pot til softened, before following the package instructions. This is completely optional, and not necessary at all. It's one of the things we did in testing and it yielded an A++ curry!

6. Taste and adjust seasonings - I usually add salt and since the spice blends are quite mild, I add a heaping tablespoon of Hot Chilli Sambal for the heat level that I like. 

Here's a quick Instagram video of me making a pot of chicken curry in my kitchen.

It’s the Real Deal!

perfect. it’s perfect. Years ago I worked in Singapore and Malaysia and could never find my way back to a real Chicken curry and this is IT! She did all the work!

We loved this, with modification

We made this and found it very spicy but also a bit unbalanced at first. We added 2 T sugar (start with 1 1/2T), 2T fish sauce and salt, and then it was perfect for us.

Amazing and easy for a curry newbie

My husband and I have added this spice blend to our regular dinner rotation because we love it so much! I did not grow up eating curry and very flavorful food, but this spice mix has converted me to a Malaysian curry lover! It makes it so easy to cook an amazing dinner with very little effort. We typically use chicken breast and add potatoes with it and everything comes together so well. Highly recommended for anyone curry newbie or expert!

The Perfect Blend

I enjoy cooking but I can be lazy too because I must?ve had the spice packet on my counter for a week before I decided to commit. Truthfully, there?s no excuse for laziness but I took a chance on Auria?s curry spice blend because I saw how good it looked in pictures and thought to myself ?I need that in my life!? Everything about the spice packet makes the prospect of dinner that much more exciting for me. The recipe only calls for coconut milk, curry blend and adding the chicken and potatoes after the coconut milk and spices have come to a gentle boil. Truthfully, you could add whatever you like to this recipe and it would come out good. Finally, I made some rice to go with and suffice to say dinner was fabulous! Why didn?t I get to it sooner?

Traditional South Asian Chicken Curry

Yall! This curry spice blend doesn?t disappoint! I marinated the chicken with Greek yogurt and the spice packet for about 4-5 hours(?) and then cooked it with onions, potatoes and carrots. Pretty much like my mom would make it when we were growing up! ??? CORE MEMORY!

Good, hot

I really like it. Smells and tastes wonderful. I fixed it for my family, and it was too hot/spicy for my wife and daughter. We eat a lot of curry in our household (Indian and Thai), but I usually make it mild for them and add red pepper to mine for more heat. Since this wasn't labeled as particularly spicy, I assumed it was mild.

Takes me back to the prata stall!

The smells of the simmering curry made me feel like I was back at a prata stall in Singapore. I followed the "bonus" steps (sauteed an onion prior to following cooking steps + added 2 (chopped) potatoes. If you're using boneless skinless chicken breast, I suggest simmering the potatoes with the curry packet + coconut milk mixture till the potatoes are about half done. Then add the chicken breast. Otherwise you might end up with dried chicken because the meat is so lean. The spice is quite pleasant and the flavours are truly authentic. My fav Malay style curry mix (and the easiest) to date! I highly recommend it. It comes together in about 30 mins and you dont have to dirty a cutting board if you don't want to. You can pair the curry with rice, roti prata, tortillas, even some crusty bread!

Another winner!

We used this Curry Spice Blend with pre-cooked boneless chicken breast and 2 pounds of cubed potatoes. RESULT: in about 30 minutes, we were sitting down to a delectable chicken curry worthy of any Aunty's house in Malaysia. I know, I know, what's with the pre-cooked chicken? That's what we had on hand and we were too impatient to head to the store. BONUS: we paired it with some fresh made Roti Canai and were immediately transported back to many a Malaysian breakfast, lunch and dinner at the neighborhood kopitiam (eating stall). Auria, you've done it again!

Better than you can imagine

I love food from around the world, and particularly from Southeast Asia, where some of my ancestors lie. As someone who grew up with sambal and indonesian spices in the house, I can easily say this Curry style packet is the finest spice blend I have ever seen or tasted, and I still have two more recipes to go! From the ingredient selection - think whole star anise, bay leaf, and cloves - to the deep layers of flavor like warm chili, shallot, lemongrass, and coriander - this packet is a culinary masterpiece. Even if youve never made a Malaysian curry before, or if you might be intimidated on how to find all the right ingredients - you can make this! It super easy and you just need the packet, protien and/or veg, a can of coconut milk, and your high heat cooking oil. I promise you and everyone you know will love the curry you create with this packet.

My First Malaysian Curry - Success!

I'm new to Malaysian curries, and I feel like I got off to a great start using this blend. I really like the presence of star anise and clove. Plenty of leftovers when I made a fish & bean curry using these spices. At first bite, I thought it was mild, and then the heat just kind of grew. Not the kind of heat that's so hot you can't taste anything else, this is flavorful heat. Or maybe, heat-full flavor. Two thumbs up!

WOW! Just perfection!

It tastes like you are sitting in a friend's house in Malaysia and she cooked for you - except you did and it's so easy!!! I followed her video - but first sautéed some chopped onions - the only thing I did different was that I let it come to rest for a few hours to get the flavors to develop more deeply and then I did skim some of the oil off the top (not all but some). then reheated a few hours later. OMG - it's just a perfect pack of spices! I made 4 lbs of bone-on chicken thighs with 2 packets of spices. and it made enough that we couldn't stop eating the leftover sauce! It really does pack a punch - it's got heat but with depth of flavor. Service it with a simple cucumber salad. Our guests were gobsmacked with happiness. Hands down the best I've had since I worked in SE Asia - even in restaurants. Thank you!!!
