Notes
- You can either use pre-ground spices or grind whole spices yourself either in a mortar or pestle or spice grinder for a fresher flavor.
- You can adjust the proportions of each spice according to your taste preferences.
- Store it in a clean airtight container. Store it in a cool and dry place. Stays good for 3 months.
- I like to make it in small batches. You can easily double or triple the recipe to make a big batch.
- Use a clean dry spoon to take it out from the jar.
- If you have whole spices, toast them lightly in a dry skillet over medium-low heat. Toasting helps to enhance the flavors and aromas of the spices. Be careful not to burn them, as this can make them bitter.
- The amount of this curry spice mix to use in a dish can vary depending on the desired level of spiciness and flavor, so feel free to adjust accordingly.
