[b]Roasted curry powder is made by dry frying, meaning without oil, just a hot pan ( duh!) 2 tablespoons coriander seeds, 1 tbsp cumin seeds , 1/2 tablespoon fennel seeds, 1 inch piece cinamon, 6 cardamon (seeds only) , 8 -10 peppercorns and 2 dried red chillies . Dry fry them stirring constantly to evenly roast them and to prevent burning , till you get a spicy aroma. Switch off and cool and grind to a fine powder , store in an air tight bottle , will keep for months[/b].
