Roasted Curry Powder
- Ready In:
- 25mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Yields:
-
1 pound curry powder
ingredients
- 4 cups coriander
- 2 cups fennel seeds
- 2 cups cumin
- 20 dried red chilies (use less if you want to decrease the heat)
- 1 tablespoon peppercorn
- 10 cardamoms
- 5 cloves
- 2 teaspoons turmeric powder
directions
- Set your burner on low heat, place a wok, or a pan and let it heat for about 2 minutes.
- Roast coriander, fennel, cumin separately.
- Stir with a wooden spatula as you roast them.
- This helps the seeds to roast evenly.
- Do not let them burn, when the seeds turn slightly brown (takes about 5-6 minutes), transfer them to a bowl.
- Roast chillie, peppercorn, cardamom, cloves and turmeric for about 2 minutes.
- Add the rest of the roasted spices into the wok and roast for 1 minute while mixing all the ingredients well.
- Turn off the burner and let the spices cool for about 5 minutes.
- Grind the spices in small batches in a coffee grinder.
- (I usually have two coffee grinders, one for grinding spice, and the other for coffee. You can use the same if you would like to have spicy curry coffee) The amount of grinding depends of how fine or coarse you want the powder to be.
- If you want it to be a fine powder grind it longer.
- Transfer the curry powder to an air tight container.
- If you would like to make smaller batches use smaller ratios for the coriander, fennel, cumin.
- Try to stick to the 4:2:2 ratio.
- Adjust the rest of the ingredients to fit to the amount of spice you need.
- Enjoy!

Hi, I am a recent college graduate who has too much time on her hands!! So what do I do? Try new recipes, of course!! :) Well, I do other things besides cooking, ok! Some of my favorite things to do are camping, biking, canoeing, hiking, walking, cooking, reading and so on. Besides all that fun stuff, some of the serious stuff I like to do are: software development, software testing, design databases, anything to do with computers (yea I graduated with a comp. sc. degree..is it that obvious?) hehehe. Astronomy...and no I am not an astronomer!! I like watching stars. I love to watch meteor showers, figure out different constellations (my fav. of course is the great Orion), watch auroras(not that we get much around here). So as you can see I have four major passions in life (besides my loving fiancé): Cooking, Outdoors, Computers, and Astronomy! I think that sums up all I want to say for now...maybe I will add some more later...
