This was on Tenina's blog some time back.. My noted copy was from beginning of January 2011.. This is the recipe I was talking about on the other topic.. I imagine there is no problem posting it here Tenina as it was available for everyone via your blog.. Let me know if its still there and a link so i can link it to your blog :)) or if you have a problem with this ..
Total time: 9 minutes
Preparation time: 1 minute
Very easy
Ingredients
2 tbsp each of the following;
Ground turmeric
Coriander seeds
Cumin seeds
Fennel seeds
½ cinnamon stick
1 tsp cloves
1 tsp cardamom seeds
2 tsp chilli flakes
2-3 curry leaves
Preparation
Place all ingredients into clean, dry TM bowl and roast for 8 minutes at Varoma temperature on speed 2. When cooked, allow to cool slightly before milling for 10-20 seconds on speed 9 or until finely ground.
Tips
Will store in airtight container for up to 3 months. Use as directed in any recipe that requires curry powder.

Thank you Frozzie.
Have you tried it with kaffir lime leaves?
H :)
-
No as couldnt get kaffir or curry leaves.. .. Can now though.. ;D
-
I imagine though it wouldnt work as the curry leaves must give the distinct flavour with other spices??? Kaffir being lime but maybe you could create a tasty new spice.. They would have to be dried though..
-
I will give it a go. I love kaffir lime :)
-
Me too..
-
Kim, are the coriander, cumin and fennel seeds ground or whole?
-
Whole.. When ot says seeds they are whole if not it states ground 😊
-
So do you think this curry powder is far better than any other curry powder recipe we have? Might be nice for our hampers.
-
I made it without the curry leaves was quite nice but never with as couldnt get them but carines recipe has no curry leaves.. Just as hally asked what recipe it was i posted and yes think it will be lovely for hampers 😊
-
Dont know about far better.. I was always oartisl to keens curry powder and this substituted nicely but cant comment as only made one..this one without curry leaves..
-
Hi Kim, if you had come down at the weekend I could have loaded you up with curry leaves from my tree. Ha! Ha!
-
Oh bum.. Now I know you have a tree though lol!!!
-
Kim, want me to post some to you? You should be also be able to get a plant up there as they love the heat and especially humidity. I have mine in a very large pot as once they are planted they like to send up suckers. So if you do get one and put it in a pot make sure you put something underneath it ie a brick or you might find the roots go down and you have them springing up everywhere.
-
It sounds like the curry version of mint. :)
-
Is a curry plant the same as curry leaves? I know that sounds silly but we bought a curry plant and the leaves don't look like the leaves I've purchased at the F&V shop
-
No idea wonder as ive never seen the plant.. Google is probably your best bet 😁
Trudy your off on hols but ill send u a msg.. 😘
-
Wonder, there are 2 types of curry plants. Have a look at these images (http://www.fotosearch.com/photos-images/curry-plant.html). The curry plant you use in cooking is the fern shaped leaf not the plant with the yellow flowers. Hope that is clear.
-
Thanks jd.. Forgot u had a plant 😁
Good to know as i want to buy a curry plant, kaffir lime tree, vanilla bean plant as i now live in a climate where they will grow.. Was 29 again here today 😁😁😁😁😁
-
I wonder how long you have to wait for vanilla beans from one of those plants Kim?
-
I had one in france and i dont think long at all.. Mine died just too cold and it was a very small plant .. Think if you have the right climate it would thrive!! Think its alot like an orchid ie not damp soil but very aerated and a warm climate..
-
I have a kaffir lime tree
-
Judy that is the plant I have. Sorry I never saw your response to this thread, for some reason I don't always see comments on threads.
-
Bumping - I'm all out of curry powder but at least I have these . . ;)
-
Thx gf forgot about this one.. Just have to source curry leaves or a plant finally..
-
Frozzie - have sent you a PM
-
I am going to make this, love spices
-
I'm going to make this, forgot all about it, have all the spices needed.

Here is a photo finally!!..now have to find what else i can use leaves in thanks to the generosity of gf 😘😘 other than drying them.. 😁😁
-
I always have this curry powder in my cupboard now. When I last bought curry leaves I washed and dried those I didn't use then put them in the freezer so they would always be ready for me ... mind you, I haven't had to make another batch since doing this so I am not sure of the results, but I think they should be fine.
Yours looks good, Kim.

Looks good, Frozzie. In Malaysia, we use curry leaves in some fried prawns and chicken dishes. The additional layer of aroma is tantalising.
-
Frozzie - your curry powder looks great!! I had a bit of poke around on google and found this article with some interesting uses for the leaves, (really interested in the infused oil to brush bread, etc. . . ! Will have to try that!)

Ooo thx gf sounds yum.. Dh loves curry.. For the moment they are washed and dried in a glass container and at worst case ppl say let them. Dry out a bit like bay leaves i guess and use as necessary..
Love that you can lightly infuse inoil first or just add to dishes as an aromatic.... Might try veg with them tonight... Impressed how freshthey have stayed too gf.. Havent wanted to put them in fridge or freezer as it says they lose intensity of flavour..
Where did you get your curry plant.. Im interested in getting one and also a vanilla plant as well askaffir lime... I guess adecent sized nursery..
Thx girls..

Frozzie, I just put them in ziplock bags in the fridge. They last for a couple of months. I throw those that get brown and keep the green ones whenever I take them out for curries. I've bought frozen ones before, but I didn't find them aromatic.

Ah well, there goes my frozen ones. I'll see what they are like later in the week, but looks like I will have to buy some fresh ones again and simply dry them then put them in jars instead of the freezer.
