There are about 200 fabulous Cochin Jewish recipes and also a lot of historical information in the book. Recipes were collected from many members of the Cochin Jewish community in Israel, India, United States and Canada.

Thanks for the comment and suggestion. There is a recipe for curry powder on this site, though, as you indicate, there are many variations. To find it, search for "Curry Powder".

This recipe sounds very good. I am surely going to try it out. I wonder why the recipes of the Jewish community are not being popularized through Food Shows on TV. I love food cooked with Coconut Milk and I pity those who don't. Curry Powder seems to be the only spice in the dish and it comes in different variations. My suggestion is to specify the curry powder or else give the recipe to make the Curry Powder.
