Roasted Curry Powder #2

Submitted by COOKGIRl

"Roasting the curry powder brings out the flavor and depth of the spices. I wish I could tell you how hot this mix is, but my taste buds have been shot from years and years of spicy food consumption. All these spices you can buy in bulk which will save you a significant amount of money. It has been years since I bought curry powder at the grocery store!"

I used this with Recipe #457405. This curry had such a great flavor! This will be my new recipe for curry powder. *Tip* If it stains your plastic cap, or blender sit the plastic in the sun for a couple of hours and it will disappear. Made for ZWT8

I made this roasted curry powder and used it in my favorite lentil soup recipe. The best batch of soup ever! The smokiness of the curry powder really enhanced the flavour of the soup.
