Description

This homemade curry powder is a warm, earthy, and slightly spicy blend that adds incredible depth to any dish. Featuring a base of coriander, cumin, and fennel, it is brightened with turmeric and given a gentle kick from red pepper flakes and dried ginger. The slow toasting process releases the essential oils in the seeds, creating a complex aroma that store-bought versions often lack. It is incredibly versatile, perfect for tossing with roasted vegetables, stirring into lentil soups, or marinating tofu and chicken. Make a large batch to keep on hand for quick weeknight meals that taste like they simmered for hours.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Position rack in lower third of the oven.
  2. Preheat oven to 300&# 194;°F (150ðC).
  3. Combine coriander seeds, ground cloves, mustard seeds, fennel seeds, fresh ground black pepper, celery seeds, ground mace, ground turmeric, and dried garlic cloves in an 11x8-inch glass baking dish.
  4. Stir thoroughly to ensure all whole and ground spices are evenly distributed.
  5. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to prevent burning.
  6. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely at room temperature.
  7. Once cooled, stir in the crushed red pepper flakes and dried ginger coins.
  8. Working in small batches, grind the mixture finely in a spice mill, coffee grinder, mini food processor, or blender.
  9. Divide the ground spice mixture evenly among small glass jars.
  10. Seal jars tightly.
  11. Store in a cool, dark place; keeps fresh for up to 6 months.
