I tried to make curry and spice dishes using GABAN 'curry powder' that even beginners can easily make super authentic spice curry

The blended spice ' Curry Powder ' jointly developed by

House Foods and GABAN appeared on February 14, 2022. After about 10 years of research, we have maximized the aroma of more than 20 kinds of spices and herbs, and it is recommended for beginners who want to try spice curry, so we actually make spice curry and spice dishes using curry powder. I tried it.

◆ 1: Check the contents of curry powder
The curry powder looks like this. The yellow GABAN logo is drawn on a blue background.

The name is curry powder. If you check the raw materials, you can see that many spices such as turmeric, fenugreek, cumin, coriander, karagarashi, fennel, black pepper, cinnamon, chenpi, and white pepper are used.

The curry powder lid fits tightly, so you can open it by inserting a spoon or the like.

When I opened the lid, it was covered with a silver cover.

When I removed the silver cover, brown powdered curry powder appeared.

Looking at the curry powder up close, it looks like this. The texture is smooth.

◆ 2: I made butter chicken curry
I found an

official recipe for butter chicken curry using curry powder, so I bought ingredients such as chicken and butter to make curry according to the recipe.

First, cut chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and add yogurt, salt, and curry powder ...

Mix.

After mixing well, put it in the refrigerator and soak it for about 1 hour.

Fry garlic, ginger and onions in plenty of butter while soaking the chicken ...

Add cut tomatoes.

After boiling enough, add the soaked chicken thighs and simmer.

When the chicken thighs are cooked, add fresh cream ...

If you add curry powder at the end ...

The butter chicken curry is completed.

When you actually eat it, you can feel the scent of spices such as cumin and turmeric along with the mellow cream flavor, and you can enjoy a full-fledged taste that is clearly different from the curry made with commercially available curry roux. The spiciness is modest for the strength of the aroma of spices, and the editorial staff, who is not good at spicy foods, described it as 'a taste like extracting only the flavor of curry.'

When a beginner tries to make spice curry, there is a wall in the store to select the necessary spices from a large amount of spices lined up in a row, but with this curry powder, you can make a full-fledged spice curry with just one can. You can challenge.

◆ 3: I made a South Asian pickle 'Achar'
I thought, 'It's called curry powder, but can it be used to make spice dishes other than curry?', So I decided to make the pickle '

Achar ', which is popular in South Asia.

There are many types of pickles, but this time I will try to make them with a simple recipe. First, chop the onions and add salt and curry powder ...

Mix well.

After that, put it in the refrigerator overnight to complete the pickle.

When I try to eat the achar that has passed overnight, the sweetness and umami of the onion and the complex flavor of the spices combine to create a taste that seems to go well with rice and sake. It is also good to feel the faint scent of cinnamon.

Eating achar and butter chicken curry together will increase the overall feeling of eating exotic food due to the overall increase in the amount of spices. In addition, the crispy texture of the onions was an accent, and I was able to continue eating. Achar is very simple to make, so it is recommended to make it as a side dish of curry.

◆ 4: I sprinkled it on fried chicken and ate it.
I sprinkled it on fried chicken to make sure that it can be used not only for cooking but also as a seasoning to sprinkle on ingredients such as salt and pepper.

When I tried it, it tasted like a curry-flavored snack, and the editorial staff, who usually do not eat spice-based dishes, said that it tastes familiar. Curry powder has a natural taste even when used as a sprinkle seasoning, so it is recommended for everyday use other than when making curry.

When I actually tried using curry powder, beginners who want to try making spice curry from now on, such as 'easy to make authentic curry', 'can make authentic spice dishes other than curry', 'excellent as a seasoning to sprinkle', buy first It was a dish that I could recommend as a spice.

The suggested retail price of curry powder is 350 yen excluding tax, and it has appeared in Tokyo, Ibaraki, Tochigi, Gunma, Saitama, Chiba, Kanagawa, and Yamanashi prefectures from February 14, 2022.
