Madras Curry Powder

Preparation

1. Store in an airtight container in a cool dark place. Grind what is needed at the time as whole spices keep better.

Notes

• This is not very hot by default. To make it hotter add extra dried hot chillies
• This would normally have 2tbsp of turmeric in, but as all the other spices are whole I prefer to leave them whole, grind just what I need, and add a bit of turmeric at that time
• Double the recipe to make enough to fill a standard 400g jar

Ingredients

• 2tbsp coriander seeds
• 1tbsp cumin seeds
• 1tbsp fenugreek seeds
