The demon of the curry powders is an adventure story about a demon who terrorises the market and demands a sacrifice. But it is also a tale about a teenage boy's journey of discovery - a journey in which he learns to confront his own problems and come to terms with them. Sammy's fertile imagination helps him to live through the poverty and hardship of his life. He invites Kali, a beautiful young girl, to share his experience of the spirits of the marketplace. Soon, however, the curry demon appears to the traders and demands that Kali be ready to come away with him or untold horrors will befall all. With the help of the three ma's and the spirits of the market, Sammy manages to trick the curry demon into falling in love with his grandmother, Ma Katta, who makes everyone's life miserable - thereby ridding the community of both the demon and the unpleasant old woman.
