Mild Curry Powder Recipe - An Easy-to-Make
Blend Without Too Much Heat and Fire!

Making a mild curry powder recipe yourself is really simple. And though it's not too fiery, it'll still allow you to enjoy the authentic taste of Indian cuisine. Whilst the recipe below contains a little chili, if you really want it mild, you can leave it out and you'll still add fab flavours to your dishes.

What You'll Need: (makes about 9-10 tablespoons)

3 tbsp coriander seeds
2 tbsp cumin seeds
1 tbsp allspice berries
1 tbsp peppercorns
1 tbsp sweet paprika powder (or regular paprika)
Seeds from 4 green cardamom pods
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp ginger powder
2 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp mild chili powder (optional)
1 tsp salt
1 x 3 inch piece cinnamon

tbsp = tablespoon
tsp = teaspoon

Directions:

Break up the cinnamon stick

Grind the cinnamon pieces along with the cardamom seeds, salt, coriander and cumin seeds, allspice berries and peppercorns

Once ground, add to a bowl

Finally, add the ginger, garlic, turmeric, chili (if using) and paprika powders to the bowl and combine thoroughly

Store your mild curry powder recipe in an airtight jar in a cool place and out of direct sunlight. Use within 3 months before making more.

Note: Dry toasting the coriander and cumin seeds, allspice berries and peppercorns before grinding and combining will add even more flavours and aromas to your finished recipe as the heat helps release their essential oils.
