Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup coriander seeds
  • 2 star anise
  • 2 tablespoons ground turmeric
  • 2 tablespoons cumin seeds
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard seeds
  • 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
  • 1 tablespoon allspice berries
  • 1 tablespoon fenugreek seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper powder

Instructions

  • Toast all whole spices (not the ground turmeric and cayenne pepper powder) in a pan over medium-low heat for approximately 6 to 8 minutes (or until aromatic). Stir often to keep the spices from burning.
  • Transfer the whole spices to a spice grinder or mortar. Grind the spices using the grinder or mortar and pestle until they are ground fine into a powder.
  • Add the cayenne pepper and turmeric powder. Blend it into the curry seasoning. 
  • Use the curry powder immediately or store in an airtight container for up to three months.
