Tamil Nadu Curry Powder Preparation
Toast the cumin, black mustard, and fenugreek seeds, the split dal, and the fresh curry leaves as described below ( Preparing Ground Spices ). Add the peppercorns and chili pods and grind the mixture to a fine powder. Add the coriander and turmeric and mix well. PREPARING GROUND SPICES ======================= To toast spices on the stove top, place them in a dry, heavy-bottomed pan and cook them briefly (5 to 7 minutes) over low heat, stirring occasionally, until they darken and begin to release their aromas. Heated mustard seeds will begin to pop, and may jump out of the pan, so have a lid ready. Oven toasting takes somewhat longer; spread the ingredients on a dry cookie sheet and place in an oven preheated to 200 F; stir every five minutes or so. Grind toasted ingredients to a powder with a mortar and pestle, spice grinder, coffee mill (not the same one you use for coffee), or a blender, the pass them through a fine sieve. Transferred immediately to a glass container and stored away from moisture, light, and heat, toasted and ground spices can maintain their flavor as long as four months. * Lord Krishna”s Cuisine: The Art of Indian Vegetarian Cooking * (by Yamuna Devi) * Published in: The Herb Companion – February/March 1993 * Typed for you by Karen Mintzias From Gemini”s MASSIVE MealMaster collection
