         [0004]    Among the various seasonings, curry seasoning is especially widely and frequently used in fast food. 
         [0005]    Currently, there are many forms of curry seasonings including block type, powder type, cream type, and the like. However, most of the curry seasonings are prepared by simply mixing the natural spices, coarsely pulverizing, and then adding seasonings such as edible salt, monosodium glutamate for a final product with a simple packaging, which results in a series of quality problems of harsh appearance, substandard sanitation, and unbalanced nutrition. 
         [0006]    As a seasoning for fast food closely linked with people&#39;s lives, curry seasoning relates to not only the taste and quality of the food, also the food health and hygiene and safety, which is receiving more and more attention.

     DESCRIPTION 
       [0015]    In the conventional process, the star anise is incorporated into the formula immediately after being crushed, and there may occur side effects such as dizziness, headache, nausea, and vomit in many consumers after eating. A frying step is added into the preparation process of the invention, for the purpose of eliminating the chemical component of safrole contained in the star anise by high temperature treatment, thus completely eliminating side effects such as dizziness, headache, nausea, and vomit which occurred when eating the unfried star anise. 
         [0016]    The curry seasoning prepared by the invention can be used to cook foods such as curry beef, curry steak, curry chicken, curry meat(fish), curry rice, curry soup, curry roast meat. The expected effect can be obtained by either directly adding the curry seasoning into the above food immediately before taken out of cooking pot, or pouring the heated curry seasoning onto the rice. 
         [0017]    The curry seasoning of the invention is characterized by good sanitation, convenience, balanced nutrition, rich in various vegetable nutrition components and the essential trace elements which cannot be synthesized by human body, due to the scientific selection of materials and abundant materials in combination with the effective preparation process; therefore the invention is effective to improve the quality of curried foods, and will have broad social significance and market prospects. 
         [0018]    The invention will be further illustrated by the following example.
