Curry Powder Blend
By Monica
Makes 1/2 cup
It's easy to make your own curry powder to use in a variety of dishes.
Ingredients
- THESE ARE ALL GROUND SPICES:
- 4 tablespoons turmeric
- 2 tablespoons cumin
- 1 tablespoons coriander
- 2 teaspoons white pepper
- 1/2 to 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper (adjust for more or less heat)
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1 teaspoon cardamom
Directions
Combine ingredients in a blender or food processor; or, whisk together in a bowl. Store in airtight container.
NOTE: It's quicker and easier to use spices that are already ground, especially if you already have those on hand. For a fresher, more flavorful blend, start with whole cumin , cardamom, and coriander seeds. Toast them first in a skillet, then grind them in a blender or food processor.
Uses:
--Use to season a stir fry.
--Mix with coconut milk for a Thai curry sauce.
--Add to yogurt or sour cream with salt and garlic powder for a tasty dip or base for chicken salad.
--Sprinkle on roasted veggies before cooking.
