I need a curry powder recipe (to make curry powder from scratch) using ground spices?

Question

I have all the indivdual ingredients for a curry powder, but every recipe I have found so far online calls for seeds, not ground powders. Or an easy way to convert seed measurments to ground powder measurments.

Answer 1

INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons ground cumin

2 tablespoons ground coriander

2 teaspoons ground turmeric

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1/2 teaspoon mustard seed

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

DIRECTIONS

In a blender or food processor, combine cumin, coriander, turmeric, red pepper flakes, mustard seed, and ginger. Process to a fine powder. Store in an airtight container.

It's a basic one, but a great all-rounder and a good one to have in the cupboard.  Very tasty :)

Answer 2

got the right person!

here you are:

curry powder:

1/8 cup whole cardamom pods, white or green

1/2 tablespoon whole brown mustard seeds

1/2 tablespoon whole fenugreek seeds

1/2 tablespoon whole fennel seeds

1/2 teaspoon whole caraway seeds

1 tablespoon whole coriander seeds

1 tablespoon whole cumin seeds

1 tablespoon ground turmeric

1/2 tablespoon ground ginger

1/2 tablespoon dried red chili pepper flakes

Directions

1Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.

2De-husk the cardamom seeds. Discard the shells and gather enough of the little seeds that are inside to fill a half tablespoon.

3Place the cardamom, brown mustard, fenugreek, fennel, caraway, coriander and cumin seeds in a cake pan and bake the spices 5 to 7 minutes or until the aroma fills your kitchen! Take care not to burn them as they will turn bitter!

4Cool these down completely.

5Next, place the cooled toasted spices in the grinder and add the ground tumeric, ginger and red chili pepper flakes.

6Pulverize until powder.

7Pour through a funnel into a clean dry spice bottle and store in your pantry away from direct sunlight.

2 teaspoons garlic powder

Small dry skillet

Spice grinder or mortar and pestle

Air-tight glass jar

Step 1:

Place a small dry skillet over medium heat. When the skillet is hot, add the cumin, cardamom, and coriander seeds. Toast the seeds over medium heat, stirring constantly, until they are fragrant--about 30 seconds. Remove skillet from heat and allow seeds to cool.

Step 2:

Once the toasted seeds have cooled, pour them into a small, dry, nonreactive bowl. Add the remaining spices and stir to combine.

Step 3:

Grind spices in an electric spice grinder or use a mortar and pestle to pulverize them. If any spice husks or large pieces remain, pour the curry powder through a fine-mesh sieve.

Step 4:

Store your curry powder in an air-tight glass jar with a tight-fitting lid. Keep in a cool, dry place.

Answer 3

This is a good, all-round, curry powder suitable for most beef curry recipes with a medium-hot temperament.

Ingredients

2 tbsp    Black Pepper

1 tsp    Ground Bay Leaves

1 tsp    Cayenne Pepper

2 tsp    Hot Chilli Powder

1 tsp    Dried Crushed Chillies

4 tsp    Coriander

2 tbsp    Cumin

2 tsp    Fenugreek

4 tsp    Garlic Powder

4 tsp    Mixed Herbs

1 tsp    Jamaican Pepper / Ground Allspice

2 tsp    Paprika

2 tbsp    Salt

4 tsp    Turmeric

Preparation

Firstly you'll need to find a container which can hold around 300ml ( about a 2/3rd of the size of a large Baked Beans can ), which can be fitted with an air-tight top - An old jam jar or bolognese sauce jar will do, however an opaque container is preferable to protect the curry powder from sunlight if you are leaving it on a shelf.

Add all the ingredients specified into the container. Fasten the lid, and shake vigorously to mix the ingredients together.

That's it. Store the curry powder somewhere, ready for when you need it.

Useful Tips

If you want to make a hotter curry powder; use the curry powder mixture as described above, but add more chilli powder when cooking
