Chef's secret:
Dilute the peach sauce with a few tablespoons soy sauce and cider vinegar to create a flavourful curried salad dressing – perfect for quinoa salads or rice pilafs.
Nutrition tip
Curry is a very popular spice blend in Indian cooking. In the basic recipe you’ll always find turmeric, the spice largely responsible for curry's flamboyant colour. Depending on the recipe (there are so many), it may also contain cinnamon, ginger, coriander, cumin, cardamom, nutmeg, pepper, and cloves.
