Keen's Traditional Curry Powder 60g.

Product Information

Cottage pie –top the mince with creamy mashed potatoes and a few handfuls of grated cheese and bake until the cheese has melted and everything is heated through. Curry powder is a blend of spices that come together to give a warm and robust flavor to whatever dish it is used in. In 1915, after both Joseph and Annie had died, the couple's sixth daughter Louisa and her husband Horace Watson took over the family's curry-powder business. Horace was reported to be a colourful character, and daringly transformed land at the foothills of Mount Wellington, overlooking Hobart, into a large advertising sign: using heavy stones painted white, he formed the words 'Keen's Curry' in letters 15 metres high. Public uproar resulted, but Horace won the right to use the land as an advertising sign.

A little desiccated coconut, a grated apple and a chopped banana add the sweetness and flavour which elevate this recipe to a whole new level of retro goodness. Within a decade, Joseph's curry powder was known throughout the colony and his produce was winning awards: he received a medal for his spice mix at the 1866 Inter-Colonial Exhibition in Melbourne and an honourable mention for his spicy sauce at the 1879 Sydney International Exhibition. Beef Mince – I prefer to use an 80/20 beef-fat ground beef mince. You can swap for any mince that you like. I do find the fattier beef gives a better texture to this curry. You can use lean beef mince if you prefer. If making a vegan or vegetarian alternative consider using a medley of mushrooms over plant-based mince as it is higher in carbs. They both have the same ingredients and thus the same flavor, but they differ in their level of heat. Standard curry powder is milder whereas madras curry powder is hot. This heat come from adding more red chilies as well as yellow mustard seeds. You can easily adapt this recipe to make madras curry powder by adding these two ingredients. Do I Have to Use Whole Spices?I’ve based this recipe on the basic curried sausages recipe that is around these days and some of the recipes I found in old newspapers from the early to mid 1900s. As you can see, once you have the basics, there are SO MANY ways you could tweak your own curry powder recipe to make it your own. How To Make Homemade Curry Powder From Scratch You’ve probably seen jars of curry powder in the spice aisle and figured this mix was essential in creating Indian dishes. The interesting thing is that you won’t find curry powder in India. In 1841, 22-year-old carpenter Joseph Keen (son of Thomas Keen) sailed to Australia from Britain with his new wife, Johanna. Following Johanna's death in Sydney in 1843, Joseph left for Van Diemen's Land. There he met and married Annie (Nancy) Burrows and they had 16 children – nine daughters and seven sons. Joseph and Annie settled at Browns River, Kingston, south of Hobart, where they established a bakery, small manufacturing outlet and a general store. Here Joseph produced and sold his own sauces and condiments including his own blend of curry powder. Heat a skillet over medium heat and roast the whole spices and curry/bay leaves for a few minutes until very fragrant. Be careful not to scorch the spices or they will be bitter. Let the spices cool completely.

Don’t worry if the sausages are not completely cooked after browning them in the pan. They will continue to cook through in the sauce. Store the spice blend in an airtight jar in a dark, cool place. Will keep for several months but for best flavor use within a few weeks. Please note that the nutrition informationis based on the mince being divided into 4 bowls, with one bowl being one serve.
