Singapore-Style Curry Powder image

This spice mixture is a key ingredient in many Singapore poultry and meat dishes. This mixture works for fish and shellfish dishes but use only 1/3 the amount normally used for meat and poultry. EDIT: World Spice Merchants in Seattle, WA says about this curry mixture - The city-state-island of Singapore is a melting pot comprised of Chinese, Indian, Thai, Malay, and Indonesian cultures, all of which make their mark on Singapore's cuisine. Designed more as a coating rather than being used in stew-like curry, this spice blend is excellent on all manner of seafood. Try it added to stir-fried prawns or rub it on a tuna steak just prior to grilling.
