Zanzibar Curry Powder

Some of my favourite recipes come from Chris and Carolyn Caldicott whose books combine informative travelogue and evocative photography with (mostly) vegetarian recipes discovered on their trips. I’m starting with their recipes from Zanzibar, a destination i hope to visit next year if circumstances permit! These are from ” The Spice Routes” published in 2001.
