Japanese Curry Powder

Step 1

If they aren't already in powder form, add the spices to a spice grinder and grind them into a powder.

Step 2

Mix the spices in a bowl to evenly distribute everything.

Step 3

Heat a frying pan over medium-low heat and add the vegetable oil and spices. Toast the spices while constantly stirring until the oil is evenly distributed and the spices are very fragrant (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 4

Transfer the Japanese curry powder out of the pan to let it cool to room temperature. Store the curry powder in a sealed non-reactive container until you're ready to use it.
