Indian curry
Kashmiri Chile Powder – this Chile has a terrific, rich flavor without much heat. It helps create a peppery base of flavor, which leaves plenty of room for other chiles if you want to spice it up a little.
Fenugreek – imparts a strong maple-meets-butterscotch fragrance and a nutty, semi-bitter flavor.
Cardamom – Minty, peppery, and with citrus notes, green cardamom helps lighten up the deep, earthy flavors that dominate curry powders.
Mustard – with their pungent flavor and spicy backbone, mustard seeds help build the heat in a wide range of Indian-style curries.
Cumin – delivers bold, bittersweet earthiness with lemony overtones that add bright contrast.
Black Pepper – bold, spicy, citrusy
Coriander – citrusy, sweet, with notes of pepper
Fennel – licorice-like, sweet, with lemon top notes

Hot Chile Powders – Use your preferred Chile pepper to deliver the heat and flavor you want
