There is no one way to define what a curry dish is. In general, any dish containing curry paste or powder is considered curry, but the spices that make up curry powders and pastes vary depending on the region. A typical curry blend includes turmeric, cumin, coriander, and chili peppers. It can also include cinnamon, ginger, tamarind, fenugreek, garlic, cardamom, and a host of other spices.
Malaysian curry relies heavily on turmeric, garlic, and chilies. Curry dishes in this part of the world are characterized by a thick coconut-milk base. Malaysian meat curry powder is ideal for marinating and preparing lamb and chicken curries. Its main ingredients are turmeric, chili, cumin, and coriander. Fish curry powder, on the other hand, is specifically blended for the preparation of seafood. You need find best curry powder manufacturer if you want to create authentic Malaysian dishes.
When choosing which ready-to-use curry powder you should buy, first you need to know what kind of dish you will make.  Consider the type of meat you will be using. Of course, you also have to take into consideration your own preferences as well as the taste of people who will be eating your dish. Some people prefer spicier curries while others want them sweet.
Authentic Malaysian flavors can be too strong for the Western palette. If you prefer subtle flavors, don’t use the entire pack of curry powder; add only ½ and then simply add a bit later to suit your taste. Don’t forget to read the label to see how spicy the curry powder blend is. Also take note that it’s perfectly normal for some curry dishes to take a while before developing a full flavor. Try leaving the dish in the fridge overnight and it should taste even better the next day.

Malaysian dishes are known for their distinct flavor and aroma. For example, the national dish—called Nasi Lemak—is a fragrant recipe that uses rice, coconut milk, and pandan leaf. Other Malaysian dishes like fried rice, curry puffs, and mee goreng all use spices liberally, too. Below are some of the most important Malaysian spices:

Not all herb and spice suppliers are created equal, and selecting one should be the top priority. After all, a good supplier can be your partner in growing your business. How do you choose a good herb supplier in Malaysia or in Asia in general? Here are some tips.
1. Choose an herb supplier with an established brand. The best suppliers have solid footing in the Malaysian market. Their products are available in hypermarkets, supermarkets, wholesalers, as well as sundry stores. Their spices and herbs are widely used in food service sectors. Their clients include sauce manufacturers, seasoning manufacturers, pastry makers, noodle makers, food chain operators, canned food manufacturers, and food processing companies—many of which are global brands.
2. Choose a reliable exporter. One of the hallmarks of a great supplier is its export status. Being an exporter often means that the company meets and exceeds stringent manufacturing and product quality standards. One of the topherb suppliers in Malaysia experts its products to South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, and China.
3. Check for Halal certifications. The ‘Halal’ seal is important not only because it signifies that the herbs but it can consumed by all communities without hampering any religious belief. It is also a seal of quality. Did you know that herb and spice manufacturers go through strict tests before being awarded a Halal certification? When a pack of herbs or seasoning is stamped ‘Halal,’ you can be sure that it was produced following the highest standards of cleanliness and purity.
4. Packaging is very important. The herbs must come in suitable packaging to ensure freshness. The packaging must also contain detailed information, including the list of ingredients used in the product, the best-before date, any special storage instructions if necessary, and of course, the name and contact information of the supplier.
5. Make sure they follow safety standards. The best herb suppliers follow all food safety laws including HACCP standards.

Good Seasoning Enhances the Taste of Dishes

Did you know that the proper use of good spices and seasoning can enhance the flavor of the dishes you make at home without adding unnecessary fat, sugar, sat, or tons of calories? So tickle your taste buds with spices and herbs that lend a savory taste, sensational colors, and irresistible aroma to every day meals. To get the most of your seasonings, be sure to following these tips:
You might ruin a dish by overwhelming it with too many seasonings. As a general rule, two extremely strong herbs should never be used together. Instead, you can season with one strong spice and another milder flavor for a complementary effect.
Add dried herbs early in the cooking process. Fresh herbs are typically addedtowards the end for optimum flavor.
If you are serving cold dishes, add spices and herbs several hours before you serve them. This will allow the flavors to beautifully blend together.
If you are using fresh leaves, make sure to chop them very finely. Your aim should be to expose more surface cuts to allow your dish to absorb more of the flavors of the herb.
Dry spices and herbs are usually stronger in terms of flavor compared to fresh herbs. Use this simple guide: ¼ tsp. powder = ¾ tsp. dried = 2 tsps.fresh.
If the recipe calls for powered herbs and you only have dried herbs, don’t worry—you can use a basic mortar and pestle to powder the dry herbs.
If you want to double a recipe, there is no need to double the herbs. Try using just 50% more and taste as you go along so you can adjust as necessary.
You should also store your seasonings properly to ensure that they don’t lose their flavor. Dried spices and herbs are best kept in a cool, dark, and dry, place. Try not to store them next to the stove. Though this is the most convenient position for cooking, it’s not the optimal location because the heat and moisture in that area may destroy flavor. Also make sure to put dry spices and herbs in tightly covered containers.

Savor the Taste of Malaysian Spices

If you have ever tasted Malaysian food, then you know that its wonderful flavors are inimitable. The country’s culinary tradition was mainly influenced by neighbouring Asian countries as well as Indian cooking. If you want to recreate authentic Malaysian dishes at home, then you need authentic Malaysian spices and herbs.
Do you want to make your own NasiLemak? This national dish of Malaysiagets much of its flavor from bay leaf and chili, which are among the basic Malaysian spices used in this type of cooking. You need top quality chili and bay leaf if you want to create authentic NasiLemak. It’s a good idea to buy your spices from trusted manufacturers that operate straight out of Malaysia.
Aside from chili and bay leaf, mintis another important ingredient in Malaysian cooking.  They are freshly aromatic, adding that cool kick to your dishes. Don’t forget to stock up on basil as well as dill, both of which have anti-flatulent properties. They are great not only for flavor but also for your digestion.
Another important Malaysian spice is sharp and earthy cumin, which is found in almost all Indian-Malaysian dishes. It is a good complement for warm and slightly bitter oregano and sweet cinnamon. Of course, your Malaysian spice rack won’t be complete without poppy seeds that add texture, and mace which is used for fish and meat preservation.
If you don’t know how to make your own Malaysian spice mix, don’t worry—you can always buy pre-mixed spices. You can use them to make curry, meat dishes, fillings, and soups. The classic Malaysian spice mix is made of a combination of parsley, marjoram, basil, sage, thyme, and oregano.
Here’s a tip when using Malaysian spices: Buy them from a manufacturer that is based in Malaysia if you want 100% authentic flavors. Western spice mixes don’t quite give the distinct taste and aroma. You can’t go wrong with proudly Malaysian-made spices.
