Curry Powder

Directions

1. 1
   Pre-heat oven to 350°F.

3. 3
   Place the cardamom, brown mustard, fenugreek, fennel, caraway, coriander and cumin seeds in a cake pan and bake the spices 5 to 7 minutes or until the aroma fills your kitchen! Take care not to burn them as they will turn bitter!

   Cool these down completely.
5. 5
   Next, place the cooled toasted spices in the grinder and add the ground turmeric, ginger and red chili pepper flakes.
6. 6
   Pulverize until powder.

   Pour through a funnel into a clean dry spice bottle and store in your pantry away from direct sunlight.
