Easy Homemade Curry Powder Recipe and quick small batch Garam Masala. Ready in 2 mins. Adjust the ingredients to make your favorite spice blends. Use the seasoning in curries, dals, Indian food, roasted veggies, bowls, add to beans, hummus. 

Curry Powders vary by brands and ethnic influences (Caribbean, Japanese, Srilankan, British) and can be very Varied in terms of flavors and ingredients. The British/western Curry powder which is used for indianish curries, is not really used in authentic Indian food. It is often a blend of spices mixing some northern Indian and southern Indian spices.

There is no one blend used in all of Indian cuisine. Depending on the region, the blends vary in names and spices. Garam masala, Goda masala, Sambhar Powder, Kashmiri Garam masala etc. The dry masala(blend)s which can be thought of as  regional curry powders are used to make specific curries. The Indian market also has picked up on the popularity of this naming as well and you will find “curry powders” such as Madras Curry powder, Kashmiri Curry powder, vindaloo curry powder etc which as basically versions of kashmiri garam masala, vindaloo masala etc. 

This is my version of the generic curry powder for Indian curries. I build up the recipe with the garam masala for more Indian flavor profile. You can adjust the flavor based on your preference with additional cinnamon, turmeric or heat.

Fragrant, intense and flavorful homemade garam masala recipe. Garam masala is an essential spice mix used to flavor and season Indian food.

Garam Masala Recipe (Homemade and Authentic)

cumin seeds (- 63 grams)

coriander seeds ((dhania)

fennel seeds ((saunf)

caraway seeds ((shahi

mace ((javitri) - 8 grams)

green cardamoms (- 4 grams)

black cardamoms (- 4 grams)

nutmeg ((jaiphal))

tej patta ((Indian bay leaf) - 2 grams)

dry ginger powder (- ground ginger (saunth), optional)

black pepper (- 20 grams)

rose petals ((optional))

First take the whole spices one by one. Then check for stones, chaff or any hidden mold in them.

Discard the stones, chaff or husks. If there are any insects or mold or fungi, then discard the spices. Don't use them.

Add the whole spices in a plate or tray. Keep the plate in the sun for 2 to 3 days.Instead of sun-drying, you can lightly roast/toast in a frying pan, all the whole spices until except for dry ginger powder (ground ginger) and rose petals.

While being sun dried, cover with a wire-meshed lid or a muslin or loosely woven cotton napkin, so that dust does not fall on the spices, when they are being sun dried. During the day, I would keep the spices out. During night, I would keep the plate inside with a loose lid covering it.

After getting sun dried, there is no trace of moisture in the spices and they also become slightly crisp.

Before you begin, grinding the whole spices, take the nutmeg in a mortar-pestle and crush it coarsely. Keep aside.

Now add all the whole spices in the dry grinder jar. Break the cinnamon, tej patta and then add. You can also use a coffee grinder. Add according to the capacity of the jar.

Then add the coarsely crushed nutmeg powder.

Next add 2 tablespoons ginger powder. If you plan to roast/toast the spices for making garam masala, then do not roast ginger powder.

Grind to a smooth powder. You can grind in 1 or 2 batches.

If using dried rose petals, then add them at this step. If you don't have rose petals then skip adding them. Again grind.

If you want, you can sift it and grind the tiny bits left on the sieve.

Let the powder cool down. You can spread it in a plate or allow it to cool in the grinder jar itself. Then spoon the powder in a clean glass jar.

Cover tightly and keep in a cool dry place. You can also keep it in the fridge or freezer. This recipe yields about 190 grams of garam masala.

Chicken Pulao is one of my faves! I'll have to try this out soon 🤗

In a glass or stainless steel bowl, mix chicken, yogurt, salt, turmeric, ginger, garlic, and chili powder well. Cover and marinate for about 30 minutes or overnight. Heat ghee or oil in a cooking pot and add the whole spices and the bay leaves. Cook for about one minute on medium, then stir in the onions. Sauté the onions until translucent about two minutes on medium.

Next, add the marinaded chicken, salt, coriander powder, and garam masala powder and saute until the liquid from chicken evaporates.

Add the rice, water, and salt to taste. Stir once and bring to a boil. Then cover and cook on low heat until rice is tender. About 10 to 15 minutes. Uncover and gently fluff rice and serve warm.
