Green ingredient illustration for Homemade curry powder

You can make your blend as hot or mild as you like; just add more chilli.

Makes 2–3 tbsp

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp coriander seeds
  • 1 tsp mustard seeds
  • 1 tsp fenugreek seeds
  • 1 tsp cardamom pods
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • ½–1 tsp chilli powder, depending on how much heat you want

Method

  1. Put a heavy-based frying pan over a medium heat and add all the seeds, moving them around so that they don’t burn. After about 1 minute, you will get a wonderful, fragrant aroma. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.

  2. Blitz the cooled seeds to a fine powder in a spice or coffee grinder. Mix in the remaining spices and give a final blitz. Store in a recycled Lucy Bee jar.
