How to Make African Curry Powder

  1. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons coriander seeds, 1 tablespoon cumin seeds, 1 tablespoon turmeric powder, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or less, to taste), 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cloves, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  2. Using a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder, grind the spices until finely powdered. If using a spice grinder, pulse in short bursts to avoid overheating.
  3. Once finely ground, transfer the spice mixture to an airtight container. Store in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.
  4. Use 1-2 tablespoons of this vibrant African Curry Powder in your favorite chicken or beef curry recipe, or sprinkle it generously as a flavorful rub before cooking.
