Curry powder is a mix of various dried, ground spices. It usually looks bold yellow or orange in color. The most common ingredients of curry powder are turmeric, coriander, cardamom, cumin, sweet basil, and red pepper. Some other ingredients that are occasionally added, depending on the specific recipe, are fennel seeds, ginger, garlic, cinnamon, or mustard seeds. 

While “curries” are often used in international Indian cuisine, this term generally means “sauce” and is used to describe many different kinds of sauces. Most of the time, they do not contain curry powder. Curry powder can be hot or mild, depending on its chili powder content.
