CURRY POWDER
Curry powder is a mixture of spices of widely varying composition based on Indian cuisine. Curry powder, and the contemporary English use of the word curry are Western inventions and do not reflect any specific Indian food. The word curry is widely believed to be a bastardization of the Tamil word kari[1], meaning something like sauce, but it may also be derived from the French cuire[2]. In the Western world Curry Powder mixtures tend to have a fairly standardized taste, though a great variety of spice mixtures are used in Indian cuisine.
Curry powder was largely popularized during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries through the mass exportation of the condiment to the western table - throughout Europe, North and South America. Still, curry powder did not become standardized, as many of the original blends of curry powder were still available throughout the world. The late 60s and early 70s saw a large increase of Indian food consumption in the west and internationally. This led to an increase of Indian restaurants throughout the world. The tradition of keeping special blends of curry powder simply became uneconomical, and curry powder became increasingly standardized outside India.
Indian cooks often have readier access to a variety of fresh spices than their foreign counterparts. Some curry cooks will have their own specific mixtures for different recipes. These are often passed down from parent to child.

CELERY SEEDS
The use of celery seed in pills for relieving pain was described by Aulus Cornelius Celsus ca. 30 AD. [3] Celery seeds contain a compound called 3-N-butyl-phthalide that has been demonstrated to lower blood pressure in rats.
Nutrition
Celery is valuable in weight-loss diets, where it provides low-calorie dietary fiber bulk. Celery contains androstenone. [4] Bergapten in the seeds can increase photosensitivity, so the use of essential oil externally in bright sunshine should be avoided. The oil and large doses of seeds should be avoided during pregnancy: they can act as a uterine stimulant. Seeds intended for cultivation are not suitable for eating as they are often treated with fungicides. There is a common belief that celery is so difficult for humans to digest, that it has negative calories because human digestion burns more calories than can be extracted. [5] Celery seeds are also a great source of calcium, and are regarded as a good alternative to animal products.
