Ingredients

Whole spices:

Ground spices:

Instructions

  • Dry roast coriander seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, fenugreek seeds, and black peppercorn for 3 minutes. Let it cool down completely.
  • Transfer it to a spice grinder and add the powdered spices - ground turmeric, mustard powder, ground cardamon, chili powder, ground ginger, and garlic powder. Grind into a fine powder.
  • Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and store.

Notes

Dry roast the whole spices before grinding. This will help to bring out their flavor and aroma.
Use a spice grinder or coffee grinder to grind the spices. While it is possible to use a blender or food processor to grind spices, a spice grinder will give you the most consistent texture.
Store curry powder in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Like all spices, this spice blend will lose its flavor over time, so it is best to make small amounts.
