Curry Powder Ingredients

This Indian curry spice recipe uses the following common spices for a curry.

• Ground coriander
• Ground cumin
• Garam masala
• Ground turmeric
• Ground cinnnamon
• Red pepper flakes or Cayenne pepper - you can vary the amount to suit here, depending on whether you want a spicy curry powder or not. I use two teaspoons when making curry powder, but you should add it based on how spicy you like your curry. Remember you can always add more heat later, but it is much more difficult to take it away!
• Ground cardamom
• Ground ginger
• Coarse ground black pepper
