Curry powder, the Durban way

South African curry leans on the Durban Indian community's spice blends rather than one generic curry powder, and Rajah is the brand almost every South African kitchen keeps in the cupboard. We stock Rajah's mild, medium, hot and all in one blends, plus Rajah's ready made Butter Chicken spice, Pakco's roasted masala curry powder, and Jikelele's sishebo mix, and ship them all across Canada from Barrie, Ontario.

One shelf in the wider spice rack

Curry powder sits alongside the rest of South African seasoning. The Spices and Seasoning collection has the braai spices, Aromat and everyday herbs that round out the pantry.

Spices & Seasoning

Curry powder and masala, cooked side by side

Curry powder and masala are close cousins, both built for a South African curry, and most cooks use both in the same pot. Our Masala collection has Osman's Durban and Taj Mahal blends if you want the other half of the spice cupboard.

Curry and chutney, the classic pairing

No South African curry night is complete without a spoon of chutney on the side. Mrs Balls Chutney is the one most South Africans grew up with, and it is on the next shelf.

Frequently asked questions

What is South African curry powder?

Rajah is the curry powder South Africans use most, sold in mild, medium, hot and all in one blends, and it forms the base of a Durban style curry along with meat, potatoes and often beans.

What is the difference between curry powder and masala?

Curry powder is a pre mixed blend used as a base seasoning, while masala usually refers to a more specific, often hotter or more roasted spice mix, such as the Durban and Madras masalas from Osman's. Many recipes use both.

Can I buy Rajah curry powder in Canada?

Yes. We stock the Rajah range, mild through hot, plus their all in one and Butter Chicken blends, in Barrie, Ontario, and ship across Canada.

What is Durban curry?

Durban curry is South Africa's Indian influenced curry style, built on ground spices rather than a wet paste, and it is usually eaten with rice or inside a hollowed out loaf of bread known as a bunny chow.
