Julie'S Curry Powder Mix - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 tablespoon spanish paprika
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground fennel
1 tablespoon ground mustard
2 teaspoons ground dried ancho chile powder
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon vietnamese ground cinnamon or 1 teaspoon regular cinnamon (cassia)
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground fenugreek
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon snipped saffron thread

Preparation

Mix them all together very well (running them through a coffee grinder together is a good idea).
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
Makes 1/2 cup curry powder.
When I use this mix, I usually lightly toast the powder (to perk up the flavor) in a hot skillet, stirring occasionally, for 1-2 minutes before adding into my recipes.
