Indian Curry Powder recipe with step by step pictures.It has simple ingredients that are roasted and ground to form a smooth powder.
Indian Curry Powder
Curry powder is a great one to have on hand. It is completely different from garam masala powder..This one has all the spices added in them and to make a curry you want only this and nothing else. Few days back i was watching some cooking videos on youtube and i came across a video in which they made curry rice. Each country has their own version of curry rice. Japanese has a lot more starch added in them which makes their curry more silky. So i decided to make my version of indian curry powder and use that to make curry rice.

This is most likely going to be a stupid question, but here goes anyway:
After roasting the chillies, did you remove their stems before putting them into the blender or were the stems really meant to be part of the final finished product?

Please remove the stems from the chillis
