Curry Powder - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/8 cup whole cardamom pod (white or green)
1/2 tablespoon whole brown mustard seeds
1/2 tablespoon fenugreek seeds
1/2 tablespoon fennel seed
1/2 teaspoon whole caraway seed
1 tablespoon whole coriander seed
1 tablespoon whole cumin seed
1 tablespoon ground turmeric
1/2 tablespoon ground ginger
1/2 tablespoon dried red chili pepper flakes

Preparation

Pre-heat oven to 350\u00b0F.
De-husk the cardamom seeds. Discard the shells and gather enough of the little seeds that are inside to fill a half tablespoon.
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.
Next, place the cooled toasted spices in the grinder and add the ground turmeric, ginger and red chili pepper flakes.
Pulverize until powder.
Pour through a funnel into a clean dry spice bottle and store in your pantry away from direct sunlight.
Use in recipes that call for curry powder.
