Hot Curry Powder

Prep time: 5 min

The yellowish-orange curry powder found in jars at the supermarket is a complex mix of many spices – not  a single ingredient. A traditional South Asian curry contains turmeric, cumin, and coriander, with other spices thrown in depending on the region

 

Makes

1 1⁄4 cups

Serving size

1 tablespoon

Ingredients

1⁄4 cup ground cumin

1⁄4 cup ground coriander

3 tablespoons turmeric

2 tablespoons sweet paprika

2 tablespoons ground mustard

1 tablespoon fennel powder

1⁄2 teaspoon green chili powder

2 teaspoons ground cardamom

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1⁄2 teaspoon ground cloves

Instructions

  1. Put the cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, mustard, fennel powder, green chili powder, cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves into a blender, and pulse until the ingredients are ground and well combined.
  2. Transfer the curry powder to a small container with a lid.
  3. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.

Cooking Tip

Dialysis modification: Omit the sweet paprika to reduce the amount of potassium. It will change the color of the curry powder, but the other spices have a strong enough flavor to make up for the omission.
