About Curry dressing

Curry dressing is a flavorful condiment inspired by South Asian and Indian cuisines, characterized by a blend of spices such as turmeric, cumin, and coriander, often combined with yogurt, mayonnaise, or oil as a base. While it varies regionally, the dressing typically contains ingredients like garlic, ginger, and lemon juice, making it both tangy and aromatic. Nutritionally, it can provide modest amounts of macronutrients like fats and carbohydrates, depending on the base used, as well as potential micronutrients from the spices, such as manganese, vitamin C, and antioxidants. When consumed in moderate amounts, it serves as a versatile addition to salads, wraps, or grilled meats, enhancing both flavor and nutritional value.

Health Benefits

• Turmeric in the dressing contains curcumin, a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compound.
• Garlic and ginger offer antibacterial and immune-boosting properties due to bioactive compounds like allicin and gingerol.
• Cumin and coriander are rich in manganese and promote digestive health through increased enzyme activity.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains dairy (if made with yogurt), eggs (if made with mayonnaise)

Suitable for: Vegetarian, gluten-free (with correct ingredients)

Not suitable for: Vegan (if made with yogurt or mayonnaise), dairy-free (if yogurt is used)

Selection and Storage

Store curry dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 3-5 days for optimal freshness. Shake or stir before each use to maintain consistent flavor and texture.
