Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 6 dried red chiles (seeds removed, I leave some in because we like the heat)
  • 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
  • 2 teaspoons cumin seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
  • Curry leaves (10 fresh)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon ground turmeric
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • 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.

We hope you enjoy this recipe!
