This Homemade Curry Powder is subtly spicy, rich and will add a creamy and delicious quality to any curry dish.
There is a vast array of curry powders out there from a simple 3-spice curry all the way up to an 18-spice version. The base for all curry powder consists of turmeric, coriander and cumin. I created this one with spices I like the best and I think it came out spectacular! What spices would you put in your homemade curry powder?
