Easy Homemade Curry Powder (Small Batch)
Our simple homemade curry powder is an easy way to have instant access to curry powder, using spices that you probably already have in your pantry. Yield: 7 teaspoon curry powder (We have found that 2 tablespoon (6 tsp) of curry powder is typically enough to season one recipe of curry for 4 people.)
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp ground coriander seeds
- 1 ½ teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ tsp ground ginger
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix all the ground spices.
- Use immediately, or store in an air-tight container in a cool, dry place for up to 2 months.
Notes
Alternately, you can start with whole spices. Lightly toast them until fragrant in a dry skillet over medium-low heat. Remove the spices from the pan and let them cool. Transfer the cooled spices to a spice grinder and grind until fine. Store in a glass jar for up to 3 months.
After 2-3 months, your spice mix will not go bad, you may just find that it has lost some of its flavor potency and you may need to add more to a recipe to get your desired flavor.
