Instructions
- Add all the whole spices to a large frying pan and dry roast over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes. The spices will begin to dance and hop around the pan. Be careful not to burn the spices as they'll become bitter.
- Tip the toasted spices into a large bowl then using a spice grinder or pestle and mortar, grind in small batches until you have a fine powder.
- Once all the powder is created, mix in the ground spices and that's it!
- Wait until the spice mix is completely cooled and the decant into a jar. Store until needed. The spice mix will be good for 6+ months.

- Storage
- Storage
- Use a medium-hot chilli powder and fiery cayenne pepper to add heat to an authentic Madras curry powder
- Ground spices can be substituted for whole spices in equal amounts
- Ground spices do not need to be dry roasted, they can be stirred in at the end
- Whole chillies or cinnamon can also be added as substitutes for ground spices
- Heat the pan at medium to avoid toasting the spices too quickly and burning them, this will create a bitter powder.
- Once ground and mixed, store in an airtight jar or container in the store cupboard for up to 6+ months. Be aware that the longer you keep it the more the flavour fades, so 3-4 months is optimum. This powder quantity will be good for around 4-5 curries.
