Aromatic Curry Mixture

Aromatic Curry Mixture Recipe:

                AROMATIC CURRY MIXTURE

    2 tsp freshly ground coriander
    1 tsp ground turmeric
    1 tsp fenugreek
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp cardamom
    1 whole clove, ground
1/8 tsp ground mace
1/16 tsp cayenne pepper

Whole seeds should be freshly ground with mortar and
pestle. Character and flavor of curry can be varied
by adding other spices such as nutmeg, ginger, bay
leaf or cinnamon. Curry can be made hotter by
increasing amount of cayenne or by adding seeded and
crushed dried red chili pepper.

Store in covered jar.

A good substitution for this mixture is a commercially
packaged version called "Enchanted Desert Spice" from
the Nile Spice Company, Box 20581, Seattle, WA, 98102.
