Curry masala powder

Ingredients

• 1/4 tablespoons cumin seeds
• 1/4 teaspoon cardamom seeds
• 1 tablespoons coriander seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cloves
  
• 1/2 Star Anises
• 1/4 tablespoon fennel seeds
• 1/4 inch cinnamon stick  
• 1 teaspoon chili powder or cayenne powder
• 1/4 tablespoon curry leaf powder  
• 1/2 teaspoons turmeric powder
• 1/4 mace (Jathipatri in Tamil & Jawitri in Hindi)
• 1/2 tspn Kalpaasi

Directions 

Dry roast all the ingredients except for the powders & grind them together. Mix the powdered ingredients with the ground mix when it cools down & store in an air tight container. Homemade curry powder is more stronger in flavor & fresher than store bought masala. A little masala goes a long way. Use 1/4 tspn of homemade curry powder to masalas along with chilli powder to enhance the flavor.
