Category: Side Dish

Cuisine: American

Ready in 30 minutes

Ingredients

3 tb Coriander seeds

1 ts Cayenne

20 Fresh kari leaves (available

1 ts Fenugreek seeds

20 Green cardamom pods, seeds

1 tb Mustard seeds

2 tb Cumin seeds

1 2-inch cinnamon stick,

1/2 ts Turmeric


Directions

fenugreek is celery-ish in flavor and used in many African cuisines and is also used in curries. Heres a curry blend that I like (from the San Francisco Chronicle): Combine all seeds, cinnamon and kari leaves in a heavy 12-inch frying pan. Dry-roast over medium heat until the mixture is aromatic and the seeds become reddish-brown, about 5 mins, shaking the pan frequently. Cool slightly. Transfer to a grinder and grind to a fine powder. Stir in cayenne and turmeric. Store in an airtight glass jar. Will keep up to 3 months at cool room temperature, or up to 6 months in the refrigerator. Yields 2/3 cup.
