Curry powder is truly a unique combination of spices. And it is worthy of note that homemade curry powder has different variations.
The concept of “curry powder’” is actually a British invention by the Indian spice merchants. It was an attempt to bring the flavour of Indian dishes that British colonists came to love home.
It is so easy to make your own curry powder at home with a few ingredients. You can decide to use the seeds of various spices or buy and use the powdered form of your desired spices to make yours at home.
To use the spices in their powder form, simply mix them together and you will have your curry powder. However, the seeds are more aromatic.
By making your own curry powder, you will know what has gone into the blend, and because it’s so flexible you can tweak it so it’s perfect for you and your family. But more importantly, it will taste fresher and more fragrant.
Note that the spices you desire to use for your own curry powder are not limited to the ingredients below as there are so many different recipes you can use.
