Recipe: Homemade Curry Powder

Spices and Aromatic Herbs Mixtures
November 20, 2009
Many of you already knows that I love indian cuisine, but I must confess I've used store bought curry powder for my recipes... until now.
Choosing and preparing the various spices, their aroma when you toast and ground them, it's all part of a gratifying ritual, so I tried also the homemade curry powder.
As usual, for the homemade spices and aromatic herbs mixtures, the result will surprise you.
You can store homemade curry powder in a jar for up to three months.
