ingredients

6 dried red chiles
1 ounce coriander seeds
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
10 fresh curry leaves
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon ground turmeric

directions

Carefully slice open the dried chiles and remove the seeds.

Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add the coriander, cumin, mustard, peppercorns, and fenugreek. Cook, stirring frequently, until they just start to brown lightly. Add the curry leaves and cook a little longer. Remove the pan from the heat and let the seeds cool. When cool, add the toasted seeds and leaves along with the dried chilies to a spice grinder and process to a powder.

Combine the powder with the ground ginger and turmeric. Mix well and store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

  1. Talisman South Africa REVIEW:

    Been looking for easy curry powder recipie as a new challenge as I always use shop bought,which is always lacking in original flavour. This recipie worked well for me,although I will personally add a few more chillies.Thanking U as I now feel more confidant in making authentic indian flavour curry.
