  • subheading: Tips to Make Curry Powder At Home:
  • Since there is no set recipe for making curry powder at home, you have the flexibility to add different spices to your blend.
  •  
  • These tips will help you in making the best curry powder blend that suits your taste and your dietary needs.
  •  
  • It is not always a necessity to add all spices listed in the spice blend recipe as long as you have the basic once.
  • Specific ingredients such as fenugreek seeds and mustard seeds add additional flavour to the mix.
  • I suggest experimenting with different quantity of spices that you use.
  • My personal preference is to use more coriander than cumin as coriander has a lovely citrusy flavour and makes the blend less strong giving it a wider scope of use in making other dishes.
  • You could choose to either keep the quantity same or increase cumin to coriander.
  •  
  • This particular recipe is the one I make with limited spices in hand. Oh yes, 10 spices are limited for an Indian kitchen !!
