Homemade Curry

Making your own signature curry with the freshest of spices allows you to be an artist in the kitchen. Because of my intense dislike of cumin, all the recipes omit the offending seed. Start with a basic curry powder recipe and adjust to your personal preferences. Always use the freshest spices. If you have a high powered blender, mortar and pestle, or suribachi and surikogi, you can buy whole seeds to grind as desired.
