B.I.R Curry Powder

BIR Curry Powder

B.I.R (British Indian Restaurant) Curry Powder, Masala or Mix powder are all terms which come up when discussing the cooking techniques for curry from British restaurants and takeaways.

Most curry houses will use a basic curry powder or masala, often referred to as Madras curry powder plus a special, secret spice blend know as ‘mix powder’.

The reason for this is convenience. When making large amounts of dishes, using individual whole and ground spices in each dish, as traditional recipes do, when making 300+ covers a night would be impossible to do consistently.

So Why Use A Curry Mix At Home?

If you want to recreate the flavours of your favourite Indian Takeaway at home then using a pre-made B.I.R curry powder is one way of doing that. It’s also convenient plus you may not have time to make your own curry powders or you find getting all the right ingredients to much trouble.

Of course you can make your own. There are plenty of recipes on how to do that in books and on the internet.
