For the final day of this week's BM #18, I picked out a very aromatic spice powder which I have started using very recently. This powder makes a very good addition to various soups. 


I saw this recipe as part of a food program on TV and the lady on the show was an Ayurvedic practitioner. She said that the ingredients in this powder comply with the rules of Ayurveda and I found it very flavorful and pleasant.


Curry Powder


Ingredients - 



Coriander Seeds 5 tsp 
Fenugreek Seeds 1 tsp 
Bay leaf 1 large
Cumin Seeds 1/2 tsp
Mustard Seeds 1/2 tsp 
Cinnamon stick 1 small (1.5 inch) piece 
Cloves 5 nos
Turmeric powder  2 tsp (reserve for later)



Method Of Preparation -


Dry roast all the ingredients separately until aromatic, except turmeric powder.


Powder the roasted ingredients and mix in the turmeric powder. Sieve to get a fine powder.


Store the powder in an air tight container and use it to spice up your soups and curries!

  13. I am too lazy to roast & make spice powders. Instead, I just throw in raw powders in my tempering.

    Liked all your spice powders in the last 3 days. Thanks for sharing!
