Below we will share the composition of the curry seasoning and the proportions in which to mix all the ingredients.
Composition of curry spice
Let's start with the first and one of the most important varieties of Indian curry, which includes a lot of "sweet" spices like cloves and cinnamon.
So, what is included in this "basic" curry? Usually, it is a mixture of ground coriander, two kinds of hot pepper, turmeric, cumin, cinnamon, ginger and cloves. For the most pronounced aroma of curry mixture, it is better to grind the ingredients yourself, but if this is not possible, then buy ground spices, mix them quickly and store in an airtight container.
Ingredients:
- ground coriander - 4½ teaspoons;
- Ground turmeric - 2 tsp.
- ground cumin - 1 ½ tsp;
- red and black peppers - for ½ tsp;
- ground cardamom - ½ tsp;
- cinnamon stick - ½ pcs .;
- ground cloves, ginger - for ¼ tsp.
Preparation
Rub a cinnamon stick along with the grains of red and black peppers. The resulting powder is mixed with the remaining ground spices and quickly transferred to an airtight container.
