To unlock its full flavor, gently toast the curry powder in a dry pan over medium heat for a minute or two until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it. This process awakens the volatile oils in the spices. Then, add it to your cooking oil or sautéed aromatics like onions and garlic at the beginning of your dish. It can also be stirred into sauces, marinades, or sprinkled over roasted vegetables for an extra layer of taste.
