Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1/4 cup coriander seeds
4 teaspoons cumin seeds
1 tablespoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 teaspoon yellow mustard seeds ((optional, for added heat))
4 small dried red chili peppers
4 dried curry leaves ((can substitute 1 large bay leaf))
2 tablespoons ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

Heat a skillet over medium heat and roast the whole spices and curry/bay leaves for a few minutes until very fragrant. Be careful not to scorch the spices or they will be bitter. Let the spices cool completely. Place the whole spices in a spice/coffee grinder along with the remaining ingredients and grind until you get a fine powder. Store the curry powder in an airtight jar in a dark, cool place. Will keep for several months but for best flavor use within a few weeks. Makes approx. 1/2 cup of curry powder.
To Make Curry Paste: Combine 1 tablespoon of curry powder with 1 tablespoon of water and 1 tablespoon of oil and mix together. You can also add some finely minced garlic and ginger. (You can use larger quantities of the paste ingredients and puree everything together in a blender.) For a Thai curry paste replace the water with fish sauce and add a squirt of lime juice.
