Curry Blend Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk coriander, cumin, turmeric, cardamom, mustard seed, ginger, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, chili powder, and ground cloves together in a bowl. Store in a glass air-tight jar or container.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
• Pulse onions in 3 batches in a food processor until very coarsely chopped (there may be a few large pieces remaining), transferring to a bowl. Repeat with shallots, then garlic.
• Heat oil in a deep 12-inch heavy nonstick skillet over high heat until it shimmers, then sauté onions, shallots, and garlic (stir often) until golden and browned in spots, 25 to 30 minutes
• Grind fenugreek seeds in grinder or with mortar and pestle. Add to onion mixture along with remaining ingredients, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and stir until combined.
• Transfer to a parchment-paper-lined large 4-sided sheet pan and spread as thinly and evenly as possible. Bake, stirring occasionally with a skewer to separate onions, until well browned and barely moist, 1 to 1 1/4 hours.

Steps:

• Combine all ingrediendts, and store in a glass or plastic container with a tight fitting lid.
• **Note:I crush my fennel seeds in a mortal and pestle, but it you place the seeds in a ziplock bag and crush with a rolling pin, it works just as well.
• This recipe makes"just about" 1/4 cup of spice.
