Yes		 Southeast Asian curry powders are rather different from Indian versions, lighter and fruitier - this one is aromatic with star anise. Of the options, cardamon would be for more Indian style dishes. This recipe will easily fit in a 4-oz spice jar.

Make:   -   (20 min)
  1. In a dry skillet over moderate heat, roast the CUMIN SEEDS stirring until they are fragrent and darken just a shade. Do the same to the CORIANDER SEEDS. Do the cumin first because it's easiest to judge by smell when the pan is hot enough.
  2. Grind All Whole Ingredients to a fine powder in your spice grinder (see Note-2).
  3. Mix All Ingredients thoroughly.
  4. Package in an airtight jar.
NOTES:

  1. Chilis:

      For the count of 8 I use Thai Chilis or de Arbols which results in reasonably mild curries - vary to your preference. For details see our Thai Chilis page.

  2. Spice Grinder:

      A little whirling blade coffee grinder is excellent for this job - mine is a Krups.
  3. U.S. measure: t=teaspoon, T=Tablespoon, c=cup, qt=quart, oz=ounce, #=pound, cl=clove in=inch, ar=as required tt=to taste
