One spoonful of Curry Karnataka, and your mouth starts to water.

· Taste: savoury-fresh, lightly sweet, citrus-forward, aromatic, complex

My tip: Curry Karnataka toast briefly in a dry pan and deglaze with coconut milk – this boosts depth, freshness and creamy aroma. A teaspoon of yoghurt at the end makes the curry especially rounded.
Origin & Story
Karnataka, in the south-west of India, is known for its diverse cuisine that unites influences from the regions of Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. Typical of Karnataka are curry dishes that stand out for their complex, balanced aroma – with a mild to medium heat, fragrant spices and the subtle use of sweetness and freshness. For my "Curry Karnataka" I drew inspiration from the traditional recipes of this region, to bring the authentic taste of South India into your kitchen.
Highlights
This curry wins you over with a refined combination of savoury, fresh and sweet components. Coriander, cumin, fenugreek and fennel form an aromatic base. Green jalapeño delivers a restrained, balanced heat at around 8,000 SHU. Long pepper, black cumin and mustard seed add depth and complexity, while lemongrass, ginger and orange zest bring fresh notes. Cinnamon flowers, mace, cloves, cardamom and vanilla provide subtle sweetness and warmth. This personal recipe was developed exclusively by me and made solely at Manufaktur Funke – the exact recipe remains my secret.

Tip from Tobias Funke
For a perfect Karnataka curry I toast the curry blend briefly in a dry pan and then deglaze it with coconut milk. This blend harmonises especially well with pulses such as lentils or hearty meat such as lamb. A teaspoon of yoghurt at the end makes the curry especially creamy.
Recommended use
- Excellent for authentic South Indian lentil curries (dal)
- Perfect for Karnataka-style lamb curry
- Ideal as a base for creamy coconut-milk curries with vegetables
