This is an Indian recipe, but embraced by South Africans where there is a large Indian population.

1/2 pound (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    In a dry skillet over very low heat, place the coriander, cumin, mustard and fennel seeds. Roast the seeds gently, shaking the pan occasionally, until they begin to pop. When about half the seeds have popped, add the cinnamon, peppercorns, nutmeg, cloves, cardamom, turmeric, ginger and cayenne.
  2. 2
    Continue to heat and stir gently until the mixture is quite hot but not burnt. Pour into a dry blender or food processor, or use a mortar and pestle. Grind into a fine powder. Pour into a clean, dry jar, seal, and let it cool before using.

    Wonderful aroma as this heated in the pan. I made for ZWT4's trip to Africa and used it in the Spice It Up Challenge. I also made a quarter and next time I'd cut the cayenne...it was great but a little too much zing for me!

    A fabulous spice...toasty, spicy, fragrant and strong! I toasted my seeds, shaking the pan, waiting for them to pop. My heat must have been too low since very few seeds performed what I call a "pop". I was really worried about burning all these spices. I used my blender, but considered using my coffee grinder, working in batches to get a nice powder, but was too lazy to even think about cleaning it out. There is a huge difference between this freshly made curry powder and the insipid grocery store variety. A little goes a long way. I like that I can make this up and initially leave out the cayenne, adding it to taste as I use it in a particular recipe. Some people like curry, but don't like it hot. My first taste of this curry was in deviled eggs with a small strip of chutney on top...pure delight. You have spoiled me now Sharon for all other curry powders.

    Wow - I have never made a spice before and I'm so glad this is the one I chose to tackle that project! I made just a .125 recipe and used 1t, but I have lots leftover for another time. I added about double the amount of cayenne, as we like it hot and it had a little kick... it was also sweet at the same time which is just how I like my curry. It took a very long time for the seeds to pop, I wonder if I should have had a higher heat. Also I used my food processor and found that it took a very long time before it became a fine powder - many many minutes. Made for ZWT4 Spice it Up challenge.
