How to Use Smoked Curry in Cooking

Smoked curry is a blend of spices that integrates easily into many dishes. With its rich flavors, it is ideal for enhancing meat, fish, or vegetable dishes. Here are some ideas for using it in your cooking:

• In a creamy sauce: Mix it into a base of cream or coconut milk to add a smoky touch to your sauces. It pairs wonderfully with chicken, shrimp, or even grilled vegetables.
• In a stew: Add it to your stews to bring an unmatched depth of flavor. Try it in a lamb curry, a vegetable stew, or a sauce to accompany basmati rice.
• On grilled fish: Sprinkle your fish fillet with smoked curry before grilling or baking for a slightly woody and smoky flavor.
• To reinvent classics: Use it to reinvent classic dishes like chicken curry-coconut, a red lentil dahl, or a simple dish of roasted vegetables.

Whether you want to add a unique twist to a traditional dish or create new recipes, smoked curry is the perfect ally to enrich your recipes.

What Makes Up Smoked Curry

Our smoked curry is a blend of spices carefully selected for their complementarity and their ability to express complex flavors once smoked. Here is what makes up this unique blend:

• Smoked paprika: It adds a smoky sweetness that forms the base character of this curry.
• Roasted coriander: It develops a more intense and slightly sweet flavor after roasting, adding a warm touch to the blend.
• Green cardamom: This spice adds a subtle and slightly citrusy freshness.
• Roasted cumin: Cumin, after roasting, releases rounder and deeper aromas, perfect for complementing the smoky notes.
• Turmeric: This natural coloring agent provides not only its characteristic golden yellow hue but also a slight bitterness that balances the overall flavor.
• Cloves: They offer a spicy and pungent touch that gives character to the curry.
• Black pepper: Pepper adds a mild heat and a hint of spice at the end.

This balanced blend is perfect for enhancing any dish, offering a unique combination of roasted and smoky flavors.

How Smoked Curry Is Made

The process of making smoked curry is what makes it so special. We start by selecting the best raw spices. Each spice is then roasted to develop deeper and more intense aromas. Roasting amplifies the natural flavors of the spices and makes them more robust.

Once roasted, the spices are ground into a uniform consistency that allows for better diffusion of the aromas. Finally, the blend is placed in our smoker for 3 hours. This slow smoking process allows the spices to absorb the woody aromas, creating a unique depth of flavor. Smoking is a delicate art that requires precise control of temperature and time to achieve the perfect balance between smoky notes and the natural aromas of the spices.

It is this artisanal method that gives our smoked curry its distinctiveness and aromatic intensity.

What Are the Aromas of Smoked Curry

Smoked curry stands out for its rich and complex aromas that make it an exceptional ingredient in cooking. Here are the main aromatic notes you will find in this blend:

• Smoky: The smoking of the spices gives them a woody and grilled note reminiscent of a wood fire, adding a unique depth to your dishes.
• Woody: Thanks to the paprika and roasted spices, woody notes envelop the palate, bringing warmth and roundness.
• Slightly sweet: Roasted coriander and cardamom add a sweet note that perfectly balances the spicier and smokier flavors.
• Spicy: Black pepper and cloves add a subtle pungent touch, warming the mouth without overwhelming the other aromas.
• Earthy: Turmeric and cumin add an earthy dimension that perfectly complements the other spices.

These aromas make smoked curry an exceptional ingredient that adds true richness to your dishes, whether they are stews, sauces, or grilled foods.
