John House

Report

Our simple homemade curry powder is an easy way to have instant access to curry powder, using spices that you probably already have in your pantry. Yield: 7 tsp curry powder (We have found that 2 Tbsp (6 tsp) of curry powder is typically enough to season one recipe of curry for 4 people.)

Instructions

In a small bowl, mix all the ground spices.
Use immediately, or store in an air-tight container in a cool, dry place for up to 2 months.

Notes

Alternately, you can start with whole spices. Lightly toast them until fragrant in a dry skillet over medium-low heat. Remove the spices from the pan and let them cool. Transfer the cooled spices to a spice grinder and grind until fine. Store in a glass jar for up to 3 months.
After 2-3 months, your spice mix will not go bad, you may just find that it has lost some of its flavor potency and you may need to add more to a recipe to get your desired flavor.
