This is a basic curry powder that can be made in minutes that'll add authentic Indian flavours and aromas to your curries and other Indian dishes. It's also excellent for spicing up pretty much any other dish.

Ingredients: (makes about 9-10 tbsp)

tbsp = tablespoon
tsp = teaspoon

Directions:

• Finely grind the coriander, cumin, peppercorns, salt and cardamom pods

• Sieve into a bowl

• Finally, stir in the chili, garlic, ginger and turmeric powders

That's all there is to it!

Store in an airtight container out of direct sunlight. Use within 3 months.

Note: If you have the time, I recommend dry toasting the coriander, cumin, cardamom and peppercorns before grinding. This really enhances their flavour!

How to Toast and Grind

Step 1: Add your whole spices to a dry pan over a low to medium heat and whilst stirring or shaking the pan, lightly toast them for a few minutes. When you can really smell the aromas and they start to darken, they're ready.

Step 2: Let them cool and then grind.

Step 3: For a finer blend, put them through a sieve before combining with any ground ingredients and herbs.
