For The Spice Blend:

1. Combine all ingredients together and mix well.

For The Curry:

1. Start with a large saute pan at high heat. Add the olive oil to the pan and allow to heat. When the oil is hot gently add the beef or chicken to the pan. Allow the beef or chicken to caramelize on all sides stirring occasionally. Add the onions, carrots and celery. Cook mixture for 30 seconds then add the garlic and butter. Make sure the butter is in contact with the bottom of the pan. Wait 20 seconds then add the chicken stock to deglaze the caramelization you have created by sauteing the beef or chicken. Add the spice blend, ketchup and cream. Reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until the sauce coats a spoon. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve over rice or noodles.
