Ingredients:


1 tablespoon ground turmeric

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

10 pieces fresh curry leaves

1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds

1 teaspoon black peppercorns

1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds

2 teaspoons cumin seeds

2 teaspoons coriander seeds

6 medium dried red chiles
 

Preparation / Directions:


This medium-hot curry blend can be used in any dish that calls for curry powder. Remove the seeds from the chiles. Dry roast the whole spices over a medium heat until they darken, stirring or shaking the pan frequently to prevent burning. Leave to cool, then grind to a powder. Dry roast the curry leaves in the pan for a few minutes, then grind and add them to the mixture with the ginger and turmeric, blending well. * To make Aromatic Curry Powder, add 1 tsp. ground cinnamon and 1/4 tsp. ground cloves with the ginger and turmeric, and use only 2 or 3 chiles.
