Herbies - Massaman Curry Powder

A blend of spices for making an authentic tasting Massaman curry.

Description & Use

This is a Thai curry powder with a difference: instead of the expected light, sharp flavors we often see in Thai green and red curries, Massaman Curry Powder borrows its heritage from a distinctly Malay influence. This combination of deep-flavored spices combined with galangal and star anise, usually seen in Malay and Indian curries, results in a sumptuous, rich, satisfying curry.

Blended and packed in Australia from imported and local ingredients.
