Instructions (I will update soon) -- For the Red Curry Paste!

  1. - Dry Roast Whole Spices:
    - In a dry skillet over medium heat, add all the whole ingredients
    - (coriander, cumin, fennel, fenugreek, black pepper, mustard, Bengal gram, and poppy seeds).
    - Toast them gently, shaking the pan frequently,
    - for 2-3 minutes until they are fragrant and lightly change color.
    - Be careful not to burn them, as this will result in a bitter taste.
  2. - Cool Completely:
    - Immediately transfer the toasted spices to a plate to cool down completely.
  3. - Grind:
    - Once cool, transfer the whole spices to a spice grinder or coffee grinder.
    - Blitz until you achieve a fine powder consistency.
  4. - Mix in Powders:
    - Transfer the ground spices to a bowl and mix in the remaining pre-ground spices...
    - turmeric powder, chilli powder, garlic powder, and salt.
  5. - Store:
    - Transfer the finished curry powder to an airtight container or glass jar.
    - Store it in a cool, dark place
    - for up to 6 months.
