Easy Curry Powder in 5 Minutes
Once you have done this, you will never go back to shop bought curry powder again. This recipe is remarkably simple and the results are so much better that what you would ever get from a store again.
With only seven ingredients, this recipe will make enough Curry Powder for upto two curries depending on how much you choose to use.
Although this may take a little elbow grease and time it is well worth the effort and time to create this wonderful aromatic powder.
Simply add this to about 200g of whatever meat you want to curry and a 400g can of coconut milk, reduce down till nice and think and serve hot will a nice bit on flavoured Konjac (shirataki) rice and your in for a wonderful low carb meal.
Ingredients
| Coriander Seed | 1.5tbsp |
| Cumin | 1.5 tsp |
| Chilli Powder | 1 tsp |
| Turmeric | 1 tsp |
| Garlic Powder | 1/2 tsp |
| Back Pepper (Ground) | 1/2 tsp |
| Nutmeg | 1/8 tsp |
Method
- Measure out all the ingredients
- in a medium sized frying pan, dry heat the spices (not the garlic) for 2-3 mins to release the flavours. If it starts to smoke it is to hot and starting to burn so remove from the heat.
- Pop all the ingredients into a smal blender and blend until the husks of the cumin seeds have come off
- Pop into a Pestle & Mortar and grind down until you have a fine powder
- Put the powder into a small herb pot and keep in a cool dry place
Note: The longer the powder is kept the more flavour and intensity it will lose so try to use it either immediately or within a week, although it should not go bad, it is best to use it sooner than later for the best results.
This is the Pestle & Mortar I use
This is a great bit of kit. It’s not the cheapest but will pay you back in quality. Granite is the best choice here as it has the roughness to grind well and the weight so it does not move around to much while you are working with it.
