Curry powder is any of several spice mixes for curry, adapted from but not to be confused with garam masala in Indian cuisine. It was first sold by Indian merchants to British traders during the British Raj. The first commercial curry powder product was sold by Sorlie's Perfumery in London in 1784. Brands such as Crosse & Blackwell and Sharwood's were established late in the 18th century.
