Curry Powder

• 4 tablespoons cumin seeds
• 1 tablespoon turmeric
• 1 tablespoon cardamom seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

1. Toast the cumin seeds until aromatic, a couple of minutes, in a hot, dry skillet while stirring or shaking continuously or in a toaster oven.
2. Allow to cool before grinding.
3. In a spice grinder, whirl all of the spices until finely ground.
4. Allow the spice grinder to sit for a minute before removing the cover to avoid the discomfort of cayenne dust in your eyes and nose.
5. Store Curry Powder in a tightly covered jar in the cupboard.
