咖喱粉

Chinese curry powder - I was amused to read on the back of the packet, "The origin is from the period of the Qing Dynasty. According to prescription developed by the old and well-known family doctors of traditional Chinese medicine, it is made of the quality plant spices, with the advanced scientific technology and equipment."

 

Sorry India, you did not invent curry powder, or perhaps they mean just this particular recipe.

 

"Ingredients: tumeric rhizome, clove, cassia, Ziran, white pepper, aniseed, common fennel fruit, coriander seed, nutmeg, chili"

 

Ziran is the Chinese name for cumin.
