How to Make Your Own Fresh-Tasting Curry Powder Blend
"This curry powder recipe makes one of the best curry powders I've ever tried. It's also fun to put together, and can make a wonderful gift once it's dressed up in a pretty bottle. This curry powder makes superior tasting curry and is much healthier than store-bought curry powders, which tend to have 'fillers' such as cornstarch and flour, as well as preservatives (almost never mentioned on the packet). You'll need a coffee grinder or pestle& mortar to grind it up, or see the recipe for a 'quick & easy' version...."
