here is a list of common curry ingredients and what they are.

seeds = cumin, mustard, cardamom, fenugreek, poppy

fruit = allspice, chilis, black pepper, caraway, celery seeds, coriander, fennel, mace, nutmeg, paprika, vanilla

leaves = basil, bay, cilantro, dill, marjoram, mint, oregano, parsley, lemon grass, kaffir lime

bark = cinnamon

flower buds = cloves, saffron

root = ginger, turmeric, garlic, galangal, shallots


the basic ingredients for a thai coconut curry are chilies, lemon grass, galangal, garlic, shallots, kaffir lime, cilantro roots, and shrimp paste.

indian curries use tamarind, coriander, ginger, garlic, chili, pepper, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, cumin, fennel, fenugreek, nutmeg, coconut, and turmeric

since we dont use shrimp paste i would either leave it out of use something like nama shoyu or braggs

have fun
