Heat Rating: Medium Toasting whole spices before grinding them greatly enhances their flavour, but watch them carefully to prevent overtoasting, which makes them bitter. You can keep this mixture in an airtight jar and use it in any recipe that calls for curry powder, or present it to an adventurous cook as a gift. Avert your face when toasting the cayenne because it will sting your eyes.

- 3 tbsp coriander seeds
- 1 tsp white peppercorns
- 1/2 tsp black peppercorns

- 2 tbsp fennel seeds
- 4 tsp cumin seeds
- 2 tsp aniseed
- 1 tsp fenugreek seeds
- 7 tsp turmeric
- 2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp black cardamom seeds
