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.

JULIE'S CURRY POWDER MIX

Julie's Curry Powder Mix image

My favorite commercially available curry powder is from Penzey's, called the Maharajah Style Curry Powder. But when I've been out of it (horrors!) I've made my own curry powder - based on the Penzey's Maharajah ingredients - from ground spices, and this mix is also wonderfully flavorful and tasty. It is sweet and not hot, although you could add some hot ground chile to it, to taste, if you like.

Yield 1/2 cup

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 tablespoon spanish paprika
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground fennel
1 tablespoon ground mustard
2 teaspoons ground dried ancho chile powder
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon vietnamese ground cinnamon or 1 teaspoon regular cinnamon (cassia)
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground fenugreek
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon snipped saffron thread

Steps:

Mix them all together very well (running them through a coffee grinder together is a good idea).
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
Makes 1/2 cup curry powder.
When I use this mix, I usually lightly toast the powder (to perk up the flavor) in a hot skillet, stirring occasionally, for 1-2 minutes before adding into my recipes.

Tips:

Make sure all the spices are fresh for the best flavor. If you can, buy whole spices and grind them yourself just before using.
Don't be afraid to adjust the measurements to suit your own taste. If you like more heat, add more chili powder or cayenne pepper. If you prefer a milder curry, use less.
Curry powder is a versatile spice blend that can be used in a variety of dishes. Try it in soups, stews, marinades, and rubs.
Store your curry powder in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. It will keep for up to 6 months.
