INSTRUCTIONS
This medium-hot curry blend can be used in any dish that calls for curry powder. Remove the seeds from the chilies. Dry roast the whole spices over a medium heat until they darken, stirring or shaking the pan frequently to prevent burning. Leave to cool, then grind to a powder. Dry roast the curry leaves in the pan for a few minutes, then grind and add them to the mixture with the ginger and turmeric, blending well. To make Aromatic Curry Powder, add 1 tsp ground cinnamon and 1/4 tsp ground cloves with the ginger and turmeric, and use only 2 or 3 chilies.
