Easy Homemade Thai Curry Powder
5 mins
10 mins
Yield: 1/2 cup
Steps
- Gather the ingredients.
- Place all of the ingredients in a dry frying pan over medium-high heat. Stir continuously for 1 minute, or until pan is very hot. Then reduce heat to medium and continue stirring 6 to 10 minutes. This will lightly toast the spices, leaving them even more fragrant and tasty.
- Remove pan from heat and tip the spices into a bowl to cool. Meanwhile, prepare your grinder. If using a coffee grinder, you will need to wipe it out very well with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove all traces of coffee.
- Place the toasted spices in the grinder and grind well to make your curry powder.
- Use to season your favorite dish and enjoy!
- Stir together all of the ground spices—omitting the bay leaf until you cook your curry. Toast in a pan using the same method—for several minutes over medium heat, or until fragrant but not burnt.
- When cooking with this curry powder, be sure to add 1 to 2 bay leaves to your curry pot.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Feel free to adjust the spiciness of the curry powder according to your preference.
