A Homemade Curry Powder Recipe
For Traditional Indian Flavours

If you have a half decent spice rack, then there's a good chance you have everything needed for this curry powder recipe. It's quick and easy-to-make, versatile and is probably the one I whip up most often.

What You'll Need: (makes 8-9 tablespoons)

3 tbsp coriander seeds
2 tbsp cumin seeds
Seeds from 4 green cardamom pods
1 tbsp black peppercorns
1-2 tsp chili powder
2 tsp turmeric powder
2 tsp ginger powder
2 tsp cinnamon powder
2 tsp salt
1 tsp whole cloves

tbsp = tablespoon
tsp = teaspoon

Directions:

Grind the salt, coriander and cumin seeds, cardamom seeds, peppercorns and cloves

Once ground, add to a bowl

Finally, add the cinnamon, turmeric, chili and ginger powders to the bowl and combine thoroughly

Store your curry powder recipe out of direct sunlight in an airtight jar. Use within 3 months before making a fresh lot.

Note 1: For this blend you could dry toast the whole coriander, cumin, cardamom pods, peppercorns and cloves to release great flavours and aromas! Click here for step-by-step tips on toasting. (Link opens in new window)

Homemade Versus Commercial

Homemade Curry Spice Mix

Using your own curry powder ingredients and creating your own mixes, powders and seasonings means you know exactly what's in there...

Unlike commercial blends which often contain additives, colourings and preservatives. Plus they may also contain the cheaper ingredients like chili, salt and husks as a filler.

But make them yourself and YOU get to choose what goes in, not the manufacturer!
