Curry Tamil Nadu grew out of my fascination with the cuisine of southern India – a region where spices are not simply flavour carriers, but a piece of everyday life, warmth and tradition. Typical dishes like Kathirikai Kuzhambu have always impressed me: aubergines, coconut milk, slow braising – and a spice blend that holds it all together. That is exactly the profile I wanted to capture.
Mustard seed, cumin, coriander and fenugreek form the foundation. Fennel, long pepper and cardamom bring depth, while lemongrass, ginger and lemon zest bring a clear freshness. Green jalapeño provides a noticeable yet pleasant heat. For me, it is the blend that makes a South Indian curry complete in the first place.
Category: spice blend
Taste: savoury, fresh, lemony, warm, balanced heat
Use: aubergine curry, lentil dishes, vegetables, lamb, poultry, rice dishes
Format: 65 g jar / 500 g stand-up pouch
My tip: Toast the blend briefly dry and then deglaze with coconut milk – that creates the typical aroma I so appreciate in South Indian curries.
Origin & Story
Tamil Nadu, located at the southern tip of India, is known for its lively, aroma-rich cuisine. Characteristic here are spicy, complex curry dishes with robust spices and fresh ingredients, influenced by Dravidian traditions. Typical are dishes like "Kathirikai Kuzhambu", an intense aubergine curry that enjoys great popularity in the region. My Curry Tamil Nadu captures exactly this culinary tradition and brings authentic South Indian seasoning straight into your kitchen.
Highlights
My Curry Tamil Nadu convinces through a complex interplay of heat, freshness and intense aromatics. The base is formed by robust spices such as mustard seed, cumin, coriander and fenugreek. Fennel, long pepper and cardamom provide an aromatic depth, while green jalapeño at around 8,000 SHU contributes a clear, robust heat. Fresh components like lemongrass, lemon zest and ginger give the curry a zesty note. Cinnamon flowers, nutmeg, cloves, bay leaf and caraway round off the profile warmly and harmoniously. I developed this personal recipe exclusively and it is made 100% at Manufaktur Funke – the exact recipe remains my secret.

All ingredients are processed fresh exclusively at Manufaktur Funke in small batches – no additives, no technical aids. The best spices have always inspired me to create new dishes. Only the best is good enough to reach the very top – for you, in your kitchen. 100% natural. Just the way I use it myself, every day.
Tip from Tobias Funke
For an authentic Kathirikai Kuzhambu I toast the curry spice blend briefly dry and then add it, with fresh pieces of aubergine, to coconut milk. If you let the dish braise slowly, the aroma develops perfectly, the aubergines turn tender, and the curry takes on a deep, complex seasoning.
Recommended use
- Ideal for traditional South Indian dishes with aubergines or other vegetables
- Perfect for curry dishes with lentils or pulses
- Excellent with poultry or lamb dishes
- Finely dosed, also usable as a robust seasoning for soups and rice dishes
