Ingredients

• 2 ½ tbsp coriander seeds
• ½ tsp black mustard seeds
• ½ tsp brown mustard seeds
• 1 ¼ tbsp whole black pepper
• 40 g dried ginger
• 6-7 pcs cloves
• 2 ½ tbsp kasoori methi (dried fenugreek leaves)
• ½ inch cinnamon stick
• 2 tbsp cumin seeds
• 8 pcs dried Bombay chilli (seeds removed)
• 3 pcs dried mace (dried nutmeg flower)
• 1 sprig dried curry leaves (approx. 10 to 15 leaves)
• 1 ¼ tbsp good quality turmeric powder 

Method

1. Lightly dry roast all whole dry ingredients in a pan over low heat, shaking the pan to stop the spices from catching.
2. Once toasted let it cool for a bit then blend into a powder.
3. Sift the blended powder and remove any bits and pieces that did not ground and grind them again.
4. Finally, add the ground turmeric and combine it with a wooden spoon.
5. Your curry powder is ready to use. The most popular recipe you can use it in is Madras chicken curry.
