"Cheaper and tastier than the store-bought bottles. Adjust amount of dried chilis to suit your "heat" tolerance. This is medium-hot. If you do not have fresh curry leaves, omit them. Do not substitute curry powder, it is not the same thing. This can also have 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves added for a more aromatic version."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Dry roast the whole spices over a medium heat in a small skillet until they darken, stirring or shaking the pan frequently to prevent burning.

Step 2

Leave to cool, then grind to a powder (I have a blade type coffee grinder used just for spices.)

Step 3

Dry roast the curry leaves in the pan for a few minutes, then grind and add them to the mixture with the ginger and turmeric, blending well.

Step 4

Store in a small jar with lid for several weeks.
