This fragrant and authentic Sri Lankan Roasted Curry Powder recipe is so easy to make and takes only 5 minutes. Can be used for all your meat and poultry dishes that tastes just like home!
Add all the spices, seeds and curry leaves. Keep stirring continously and roast for about 5 minutes or till the cumin seeds turn golden brown and mustard seeds start to splutter. Curry leaves should turn dry and dark.
Transfer the spice blend to a plate and let it cool for a minute. Then use a spice or coffee grinder to grind to a smooth powder.
Transfer to an airtight container and use a dry spoon when you need to scoop out the curry powder.
This makes about 1/2 cup of curry powder. Double or triple as needed.
