Antonio over at Seasonality Spices sent me a free sample of his Maharajah Indian Curry Blend, so I whipped up some chicken curry to try it out. Fresh ginger and coconut milk combined with his awesome curry blend created a creamy, delicious curry that is not overly spicy. Feel free to add fresh or dried peppers of your choice if you want to bring the heat.

5. Dice onion, pepper and carrots and add them to the skillet. If you don’t have a non-stick skillet you may want to add a drizzle of vegetable oil to the pan as well. Saute over med-high heat stirring frequently until the vegetables soften and the onions start to brown slightly, about 5 minutes.
6. Add the grated ginger and the curry powder. Stir and saute about 2 minutes.
7. Add the bamboo shoots and stir.
