HOW TO MAKE CURRY POWDER

Steps:

• Measure all the ingredients into a small mixing bowl. Use 1 tbsp (7 grams) of ground coriander, 1 1/2 tsp (3 grams) of ground cumin, 1 tsp (2 grams) of turmeric powder, 1/2 tsp (1 gram) of ground black pepper, 1/2 tsp (1 gram) of chili powder, and 1/2 tsp (1.5 grams) of ground ginger. This recipe makes enough curry powder for a 4-person dish. If you want more to keep in the cupboard to use at a later date, double or triple the recipe.Did You Know? There are tons of different varieties to curry powder, just depending on where you are and what you prefer. Other commonly included ingredients are fenugreek, garlic, fennel, caraway, cinnamon, clove, mustard, and nutmeg. If you want to experiment, consider adding 1 or 2 new spices at a time in 1/2 teaspoon (1 gram) increments.
• Use a whisk to thoroughly mix up all of the ground spices. Gently mix the ingredients so that they don't go flying everywhere. If you don't have a whisk, a fork will also get the job done. If you want, you could also put the ingredients straight into the storage container and shake it up well to mix things together.
• Transfer the curry powder to an airtight storage container. Use a clean container that has a tight-fitting lid; something small like a spice jar would work well. Glass works well for curry powder, as it won't stain the container, but plastic can also work. If you do use plastic, just make sure there isn't an odor in the container, as the curry powder will absorb it. If you're having trouble getting the curry powder into the container because the top is too small, use a funnel. If you're planning on using the curry powder right away, you can skip the storage steps.
• Store the curry powder in a dry, cool location for up to 3 years. Even after 3 years, the curry powder would still technically be safe to use, but its flavor and aroma will be much better the sooner it's used after it has been prepared. Keep it away from direct sunlight and from any moisture. Keep in mind that the powder may be fresh for a shorter period of time if you're using spices that are already several years old. For the best results, use spices that have been purchased in the last 6 months. Write the "made on" date on a piece of masking tape on the container so you will remember how long it'll be good for. If the curry powder doesn't smell good or smell strong when you open the container, it has probably gone bad or lost a lot of its potency.
• Add 2-2.5 tbsp (12-15 grams) of curry powder for a 4-person dish. Depending on your preferences, you may want more or less curry powder. Play around with the measurements until you find the right proportion for your personal tastes. Curry powder can be made into delicious soups, sauces, and marinades. It can also be used as a dry rub on meat and seafood.
