• 3 cardamom pods seeds only
• ground ginger to taste
• cinnamon to taste
• cumin seed to taste
• 1/4 red chiles dried, crushed
• 1/4 teaspoon turmeric

• 1 tablespoon prepared mustard Dijon or spicy
• 1 garlic clove small, peeled, finely chopped

1. To make the curry powder, grind the spices together until they resemble a coarse powder, either with a mortar and pestle or in a clean electric coffee grinder.
2. If the hens are frozen, thaw overnight in refrigerator. Rinse hens with cold water; pat dry.
3. In small bowl, combine curry powder with syrup, mustard, garlic, salt, pepper and lemon juice.
4. Cut reserved lemon half in half again; place inside hens. If desired, truss (tie or skewer) hens to secure legs. Line a shallow roasting pan with foil, dull side facing up, for easy cleanup. Place hens in pan and brush with some of the glaze. Reserve remainder of glaze for frequent basting.
5. Bake in oven at 375 F. for 1 hour or longer, until juices run clear
