Unroasted curry powder is a blend of ground raw spices that has not been roasted before grinding. This spice blend typically includes ingredients like cumin, coriander, turmeric, ginger, mustard seeds, fenugreek, cinnamon, and cardamom.

The unroasted version of curry powder differs from the traditional roasted version, which involves roasting the spices before grinding them, to intensify their flavor and aroma. Unroasted curry powder, on the other hand, has a milder, more subdued flavor compared to its roasted counterpart. It is often used in dishes that require a more delicate flavor profile or as a seasoning in dishes that already have a strong flavor profile.

Unroasted curry powder is commonly used in Indian, Sri Lankan, and Southeast Asian cuisine, and can be used in a variety of dishes such as curries, stews, soups, and marinades. It is also a common ingredient in vegetarian and vegan cooking, as it can add depth and complexity to plant-based dishes.
