Ingredients
  

Instructions
 

  • Pan roast the ingredients.
  • Heat a frying pan over medium flame and roast all ingredients one after another, except spices such as red chilies and turmeric powder.
  • Do not over roast the ingredients or else the whole spices will burn and impart a bitter taste to the end product.
  • Grind.
  • Allow the ingredients to cool down a bit.
  • Add all the spices and ingredients to a spice blender/grinder/food processor.
  • Process, blend, or grind for a few minutes until a powder is formed.
  • Use a medium sieve to sift the powder. This is to check if there are any chunks of whole spices.
  • Add a pinch of Himalayan pink salt and mix well.
  • Store the powder in an airtight container
  • Stays fresh for 2 months

Power tip

  • Always make the curry powder in small batches to retain the optimal taste and flavor.

Variations

  • We can add dried mango powder (amchur) and ¼ tsp of beetroot powder which will impart the tandoori flavor and can be used for marination too.
  • If Bengal gram is unavailable, one can use sattu powder too. Sattu will also help in thickening the gravy.

Notes

  • Coriander seeds impart an earthy flavor to the curry paste. These are great for pickling and marinades too.
  • Coriander seeds are also known for regulating the menstrual cycle and managing excessive menstrual flow. Try this DIY - coriander seed water decoction by boiling 2 tbsp coriander seeds in a liter of water. Once cool, sieve and sip at regular intervals.
  • Coriander seeds have a soothing effect on sensitive skin. These are also considered effective in regulating blood sugar, reducing inflammation, and slowing down the rate of growth of cancer cells.
