I am a Sri Lankan and I love cooking. This is my curry powder recipe that I got from my mother. I use this for all the curries. Use less for vegetables.
Ingredients:
1 cup coriander seed
1/2 cup cumin seed
1 tablespoon anise seed
3 inches cinnamon sticks
2 teaspoons whole cloves
3 teaspoons cardamom seeds
15 curry leaves (optional)
3 inches ramps (optional)
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 teaspoon mustard seeds (whole mustard)
1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
2 tablespoons raw rice (can use basmathi rice)
Directions:
1. In a dry frying pan, over low heat, roast each ingredient separately till light-medium brown.
2. Stir constantly[coriander, cumin, ani seeds, rice must be fairly brown, but do not let them burn].
3. Mix all the roasted ingredients, put into a grinder and grind to a fine powder.
4. Store in an air tight jar.
5. I use this curry powder for fish curry, meat curry.
6. [1Tbsp for 1 lb of meat or fish] For vegitable curry, use only about 1/2 Tsp of curry powder.
