Sri Lankan Curry Powder by rockonaudi

This is great rubbed on Salmon and other Seafood, or Chicken...

Sri Lankan Curry Powder (Makes 12 Tbsp)

6 tbsp. coriander seeds
3 tbsp. cumin seeds
1 tbsp. fennel seeds
1 tsp. fenugreek seeds
5 cm/2 in piece cinnamon stick
1 tsp. cloves
8 green cardamoms
6 dried curry leaves
1-2 tsp. chili powder
1. Dry-fry or roast the coriander, cumin, fennel and fenugreek separately because they turn dark at different stages. Deep-fry or roast the cinnamon stick, cloves and cardamom together until they give off a spicy aroma.

2. Remove the seeds from the cardamom podd and grind all the ingredients with the curry leaves and chili powder to a fine powder.

* ok, that's the recipe as it's written... you can substitute
Dried Cilantro leaves for the coriander seed
Plain store-bought curry powder if you don't have the dried leaves...
and you can use powders of any of those seeds ..
just remember that powdered is a different measured amt and so are the leaves so have to adjust accordingly...

AND

I don't usually bother dry-roasting I just grind the seeds & cinn stix together then add the powdered ones and mix. It has an odd smell but it is fantastic! Even made with this simple variation...

That's it! Enjoy!!!!

Better than draino (no kidding) and SAFE for everyone and everything....

One spaghetti pot of water,

add two cups of baking soda and heat to boil,

don’t let boil too much,

pour down the drain slowly.

I've used this in the kitchen and bathroom and it works like a charm.
