Homemade Mild Curry Powder and Paste. image

This curry powder/paste is the result of an afternoon creating a curry that would keep my non curry headed friends happy but not bore the others. I really recommend a spice grinder as the flavour of freshly ground spices is just so much better than store bought powders. Keep the powder in the fridge to help retain the flavours longer. The powder should be enough for a minimum of 10 curries.
