Background

The general, ready-mixed curry powder available in shops is a British invention. Indians always use spices, freshly mixed for specific dishes. Every family and restaurant have their own special spice blends! If you want to have authentic Indian flavours, but don't have the time to mix a special blend each time, it’s best to create your own curry powder or paste. This homemade curry powder is very simple to make, it’s mild and flavoursome. Ideal for cooking every-day Indian-style dishes that don't require a special spice blend (such as Rogan Josh, Madras, Tandoori, Garam Masala etc.).

Ingredients

3 Tbsp coriander seeds
1 Tbsp cumin seeds
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp cardamom seeds
8 cloves
1 cinnamon stick
3 Dried Chilis
¼ tsp grated nutmeg
1 Tbsp ground turmeric

Instructions

Dry-fry the first 6 spices in a non-stick frying pan for 1-2 minutes. Take it off the stove, add the chilli, nutmeg and turmeric.
Grind into a powder, using pestle & mortar or a herb grinder.
Store in an airtight, dark container in a cool place. It keeps well for 3 about months.

Tips

Add more chillies if you want a really hot curry powder!
