How to Make Cape Curry Powder
- In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast 1 teaspoon coriander seeds, 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, 1 teaspoon fennel seeds, and 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds separately until fragrant (about 1-2 minutes per spice). Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Toast 1 teaspoon cloves and 1 teaspoon black peppercorns in the same skillet until fragrant (about 1 minute).
- Combine the toasted spices, 2-4 dried red chilies (adjust to your preferred heat level), 1 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg in a spice grinder or high-powered blender.
- Grind to a fine, consistent powder. Add more of any spice to adjust the flavor profile to your liking.
- Transfer the Cape Curry Powder to an airtight container. Store in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.
