What is it?

Curry Powder is a dry spice blend whose ingredients, heat, salt and allergens vary by product. This page follows the authoritative HK-market name and identification scope.

How to identify it

Yellow or brown powder does not prove curry powder; read the sealed original package’s food name, ingredients and allergen information.

Common Hong Kong household uses

Use Curry Powder only in the amount and food use stated by the recipe and original label.

Choosing & preparing

Before use, read the complete original label for the food name, ingredients, allergens and directions.

Storage

Keep sealed in the original package and follow labelled storage conditions and dates; protect from moisture and other powders.

Helper tip

White pepper is usually paler and chicken seasoning can also be yellowish; no loose powder should be identified by colour alone.
