カレー粉 / Kare ko (Japanese curry powder)

Kare ko is a spice blend that spread to Japan in the late Meiji era as a result of British imperialism. The blend (like curry powder in general) originates from a British approximation of a range of South Asian spice profiles. Domestic manufacture and sale of kare ko began in 1905 with Hachi; S&B, who began production in 1923, currently hold the major market share.

Kare ko is adapted to Japanese tastes, and is usually not very spicy. It is dominated by coriander, turmeric, and cumin, but also contains spices such as fenugreek, cardamom, clove, and star anise, as well as dried herbs including sage and dill. Popular comfort dish kare raisu ("curry rice," a pairing of rice and a curried stew featuring carrots and potatoes), uses kare ko as its primary source of flavor; kare ko is also used to make curry ramen and curry udon.

The benefit of making this spice blend at home is in its freshness and its customizability—play around with the proportions of different spices until you get something you like!

Patreon | Tip jar

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp (3.5g) coriander seeds

1 tsp (2.6g) turmeric

1 tsp (2.5g) cumin seeds

5-6 pods (1/2 tsp; 1g) green cardamom

1 tsp freshly ground nutmeg, or 1/2 tsp pre-ground (.6g)

1/2 tsp (2g) fenugreek seeds

1/2 tsp (.7g) ground ginger

1/2 tsp (1.3g) ground garlic

1/2 tsp (1.5g) yellow mustard seeds

1/2 tsp (1g) fennel seeds

1 cm piece (1/4 tsp; .7g) cassia cinnamon

1/2 tsp (1.3g) black pepper

1/2 tsp (1.2g) paprika

1/2 tsp (1.2g) cayenne pepper (optional)

4-5 (1/4 tsp; .5g) whole cloves

2-3 (1/4 tsp; .5g) allspice berries

2 Mediterranean bay leaves (laurel)

1 star anise pod (2g)

1 tsp chen pi (dried tangerine or mandarin orange peel) (1.2g)

1/4 tsp (.2g) dried thyme

1/4 tsp (.2g) dried sage

1/4 tsp (.2g) dried dill

Pinch MSG (optional)

Pinch asafoetida (hing; optional)

Chen pi is commonly used in Chinese and Japanese cooking and can be purchased at an East Asian grocery store.

Though Japanese curry powder is ultimately drawing from South Asian cuisine, recipes for it tend to call for Mediterranean bay leaves rather than Indian bay leaves (tej patta; really a type of cinnamon leaf).

Instructions:

1. In a dry skillet on medium, toast large whole spices (cinnamon, star anise, green cardamom, cloves, allspice) for a few minutes until fragrant and set aside. Repeat with smaller seeds (coriander, cumin, fenugreek, mustard, and fennel) and bay leaf. Set aside and allow to cool.

2. Remove skillet from heat. Toast ground spices and dried herbs, stirring constantly, for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Remove from skillet.

3. Grind all spices and herbs in a spice mill or mortar and pestle and strain through a fine mesh sieve. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.

It's funny how a lot of savory foods can benefit from cardamom and no one ever adds it.

Mushrooms? 100% need cardamom. Personally I just fry them with cardamom, chili and sesame oil/sesame seeds and add to rice noodles, it's my "ready under 15 minutes" food. Works in soups and sauces too (just don't add thyme in that case).

White fish. Coriander seeds+cardamom+garlic is the perfect seasoning, imo. Or cardamom overdose+ginger powder+sambal mixed into coconut milk (I can sing odes to white fish cooked in coconut milk).

Most kinds of meat too (anywhere you would add a mix of peppers without adding herbs). Works great in marinades.

I'm always so surprised it's considered a sweet spice. It's so versatile.

[veronicasanders]

Hello V I have a food question and I thought more people would benefit from this 😊: I'm meal prepping and I can't find the slaw recipe you gave me, so this is me asking for it (or anything else yummy you want to share 💖)

Oooh, okay!! Well the TL;DR of it all is multiple kinds of shredded cabbage, fat, acid, salt, and a generous amount of seasoning, tossed vigorously. Then top with something crunchy. 

Here��s the full recipe, which we’ll call ‘Auntie Em’s Shredded Slaw:’

Always start with at least 2 kinds of cabbage, like white and purple, cut thinly on a mandolin, or shredded into thin strips with a knife. Usually at least a few other cruciferous veggies too, like Brussels sprouts, broccoli, kale, etc, also cut small.

Add some other crunchy veggies: shredded or matchstick-cut carrots, radishes,  celery, jicama, beets, whatever you’ve got. Bonus points if it makes things colorful.

Add little oil/fat

Add whatever vinegar or acid goes with the rest of the meal (IE balsamic, red wine, apple cider, or rice vinegar, harissa, or lemon/lime juice, even hot sauce)

Optional: If you want a creamy coleslaw, add a spoonful or two of Greek yogurt or sour cream

Season LIBERALLY, with whatever spices or fresh herbs go with the meal. Always include salt, pepper, a little chili powder, and garlic & onion powders, but everything is optional. 

STIR AGGRESSIVELY UNTIL THE LIQUIDS AND SPICES HAVE EMULSIFIED AND COATED THE VEGGIES. TASTE AS YOU GO AND ADD SEASONING IF NECESSARY.

(Examples: an Italian meal might mean: olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, fresh basil, fresh parsley, fresh minced garlic, a few spoonfuls of pesto, dried oregano or rosemary, etc. A stir-fry might get peanut oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, fresh Thai basil, green onions, cilantro/coriander leaves, star anise, cloves, etc. Mexican food might get lime juice, fresh cilantro, cumin, cayenne, ancho, chipotle, hot sauce or Tajin.)

Also optional: add-ins like tomatoes, olives, peppers, artichoke hearts, capers, cucumbers: things that are juicy or more delicate. They get mixed in now, more gently.

Finish by sprinkling something crunchy on top: toasted nuts or seeds, croutons, fried noodles/onions, etc. Et voila. Auntie Em’s Shredded Slaw.

(Which stores brilliantly, btw, because the flavors only get better as they all marinate together and because the base is hearty and crunchy things, it doesn’t get soggy and gross like most leftover salad.)

One more tip: you can do a lot of veggie prep ahead of times and then just store the already-cut ones in your vegetable bin to make it go even faster.

Go with your Gut: Optimizing Diet for PD Symptoms

Have you ever heard the phrase "trust your gut"? Well, it turns out that there's more truth to it than we might have thought.

Scientists have found that the gut interacts with the brain in intricate ways, causing significant changes in our mood. While it was earlier believed that anxiety and depression can cause constipation, nausea, and other gastrointestinal symptoms, recent studies have shown that an upset gut can in turn result in anxiety and depression as well.

Hippocrates once said, "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food,” a sentiment that resonates strongly with our Indian traditions of Ayurveda. While diet alone can't replace medicines, it can certainly complement their effects, thanks to the intricate relationship between our gut and brain.

Several scientists are now exploring the impact of diet on PD symptoms. While no specific diet is a “PD diet”, there are dietary interventions that can address specific bothersome issues.

In general, research suggests that some aspects of a diet can alter the severity of the symptoms and their progression rate. The main suggestions that these studies have provided are as follows-

Fresh vegetables and fruits, nuts (walnuts, pistachios, etc.), fresh herbs and spices (turmeric, cumin, coriander, mustard seed, cloves, etc. ), coconut oil, and eggs seem to be associated with reduced symptom severity and reduced rate of progression of PD symptoms. A diet rich in fresh vegetables and fruits might be beneficial for all PD patients.

Dairy intake, canned fruits and vegetables, and fried food have all been seen to increase the rate of symptom progression in PD, and avoiding these might be beneficial.

Carbidopa-levodopa, the most common PD medication, is absorbed in the small intestine. If taken together with a high-protein meal, its effect can be minimized. In order to obtain its maximum benefits, it's recommended that you accompany it with a low-protein meal, and have your protein-rich foods like lentils (dal), kidney beans (rajma), eggs, or meat at other times of the day.

Additionally, certain symptoms can also be managed better with some tweaks in everyday diet, following are some suggestions that have been reported.

Constipation- Eating food high in fiber (fruits with peel, vegetables, and legumes) and drinking more fluids can help reduce constipation. Drinking warm fluids in the morning can be specifically beneficial.

Gastroparesis (stomach takes a long time to empty its content)- Avoiding large high-fat meals has been recommended.

Nausea- Small portions of meals can help avoid feeling full. Ginger candies or ginger tea can help reduce the symptoms as well.

Low blood pressure- Eating small meals frequently, increasing fluid intake, and decreasing dehydrating drinks like coffee and alcohol can be helpful.

Swallowing problems (coughing, choking or food feeling "stuck") - Dietary changes like softened food or food that stimulates swallowing (carbonated, sour, or seasoned food) can help. Eating slower or eating small bites can also help.

Sleep Problems- Melatonin-rich fruits such as pineapple, orange, and banana might be able to help improve sleep problems. However, these should be taken in moderation.

Cognitive dysfunction- Acute caffeine consumption helps improve performance in cognitive functions. Its consumption is recommended in the military ration.

Gait and Balance- Ensuring adequate protein intake to maintain muscle strength is recommended. Foods rich in B vitamins like whole grains, eggs, and lean meats might also be beneficial.

Some supplements are also said to be beneficial but there is still a lot unknown. Make sure to talk to your doctor before starting the use of any supplement. Supplements can have unnecessary side effects that can be avoided if they are approached with caution.

Although dietary changes can help improve symptoms and symptom progression, it is important to keep in mind that the diet has no “fit-all” rule. In case, changing a certain aspect of your diet aggregates a symptom, it is advisable to revert back to your normal diet and contact a health care professional.

If you are attempting to change your diet, remember to do so in moderation. Like Sant Kabir Das said "Ati ka bhala na bolna, ati ki bhali na chup. Ati ka bhala na barsna, ati ki bhali na dhup." Moderation is the key.

Step 1: Boiling the Potatoes

Step 2: Preparing the Vegetables

If you choose to add cucumber, carrot, and green peas to your Aloo Achar, follow these steps:

Peel and dice the cucumber and carrot into small cubes.

Green peas should be blanched by boiling them in water for two to three minutes, then quickly moving them to cold water to terminate the cooking process.

Step 3: Roasting the Sesame Seeds

Sesame seeds should be toasted in a small pan. When golden brown, dry them over medium heat and smell nutty. Take care not to burn them. Once roasted, set them aside to cool.

Step 4: Tempering the Spices

One of the most critical steps in enhancing the flavor of Aloo Achar. Follow these instructions:

Heat mustard oil in a large pan until it starts to smoke lightly. This step reduces the oil’s pungency, giving it a smoother flavor.

Add mustard seeds and let them splutter.

Add fenugreek seeds and cook until they turn dark brown.

Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, and asafetida. Stir well to combine the spices.

Step 5: Mixing the Potatoes and Spices

Add the boiled potato cubes, diced cucumber, carrot, and blanched green peas to the pan with the tempered spices. Combine thoroughly to coat the vegetables uniformly with the spice mixture.

Add the finely chopped green chilies and fresh coriander leaves. Mix again.

Step 6: Adding the Tangy Element

Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the potato mixture.

Add salt to taste and mix thoroughly.

Step 7: Garnishing and Serving

Transfer the Aloo Achar to a serving bowl.

Garnish with the roasted sesame seeds for an added crunch and nutty flavor.

The delicious Aloo Achar is now ready to be served and can be appreciated either warm or at room temperature.
