At Sterling Exports Inc., we take pride in offering authentic Curry Powder blends that capture the rich diversity of Indian cuisine. Unlike a single spice, curry powder is a mixture of carefully selected spices, harmonized to deliver a balanced flavor profile. While the concept of curry powder was popularized in the West during the 19th century, authentic Indian curry powders are deeply rooted in regional spice traditions and passed down through generations.
Our curry powders are prepared from premium-quality turmeric, coriander, cumin, fennel, fenugreek, red chillies, black pepper, ginger, cloves, cardamom, and other spices, depending on the desired flavor profile. Each blend is meticulously crafted to maintain the true taste of India while meeting international quality and safety standards.
With over 40 years of expertise in sourcing, blending, and exporting spices, Sterling Exports has established itself as a trusted supplier of curry powder worldwide. Backed by certifications such as BRC, HACCP, ISO 22000, Halal, and Kosher, we ensure our curry powder reaches global kitchens with unmatched freshness, aroma, and consistency.

The story of curry powder begins with India’s ancient spice traditions. Indian households historically crafted unique spice mixes tailored to regional cuisines, often passed down within families. However, during the British colonial period, curry powder emerged as a way to bring the “flavors of India” back to Europe. By the 19th and 20th centuries, it was being mass exported across Europe, North and South America, where it quickly became a household staple. While Western curry powders became standardized, Indian cooks continued to prepare custom blends for specific dishes. Today, curry powder remains one of the most iconic spice blends in the world, bridging cultures and culinary traditions.
The word “curry” may have originated from the Tamil word kari (meaning sauce), or from the French word cuire (to cook).
Curry powder is not a traditional Indian invention but a colonial adaptation to bring Indian flavors abroad.
Indian households typically use freshly ground spice mixes (masalas) rather than ready-made curry powder.

There are hundreds of curry powder recipes, varying by region, community, and even household.
