Roasted Curry Powder

Ingredients

• 1 cup Coriander seeds
• 1/2 cup Cummin seeds
• 1 tbs Fennel seeds
• 1 Cinnamon stick
• 1 tsp whole Cloves
• 1 tsp Cardamom seeds
• 10-15 dried curry leaves
• 5-6 dried red Chillies (optional)
• 5-6 dried Rampe pieces
• 1 tbs black pepper seeds
• 2 tbs raw rice

Directions

In a dry pan, over low heat, roast each ingredient separately. Stir constantly (Coriander, Cummin, Fennel and rice must be fairly brown but do not let them burn). Mix all the roasted ingredients, put into a grinder and grind to a fine powder. Store in an air tight jar.
