Madras Curry Powder
- 2 tablespoons whole coriander seeds
- 1 tablespoon whole cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
- 3 - 4 inches cassia bark
- 10 - 15 whole green cardamom pods
- 1 teaspoon whole black pepper
- 5 - 6 long, mild kashmiri chiles
- 20 - 30 small curry leaves, picked
- 2 tablespoons ground turmeric
- Toast the first seven spices, one at a time, in a hot, heavy pan until fragrant. This can take anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute. Remove to a bowl and let cool completely.
- To toast curry leaves, place in the same hot pan. Shake the pan, to crisp up and toast the leaves, about 1 minute. When they are fragrant, brown around the edges and crumbly, remove them from the pan, and cool.
- Place the toasted spices, curry leaves and ground turmeric in a spice grinder or powerful blender and grind to a fine powder, sieving if necessary.
- Store in an airtight tin, in a cool place away from light.
