Ingredients
  • Dried red chili - 400g
  • Coriander seeds - 400g
  • Black pepper - 80g
  • Fennel seeds - 80g
  • Cumin seeds - 60g
  • Curry leaves - 20 to 25 sprigs
  • Cooking oil - 1 tablespoon
Instructions
  1. Heat the large cooking wok and dry roast the curry leaves for 2 minutes under low flame. Stir frequently until the heat spread well to all curry leaves.
  2. Take off the curry leaves and dry roast the coriander seeds for 3 minutes over medium flame. Stir the seeds regularly to avoid burn.
  3. Take off the coriander seeds and dry roast the black pepper for 2 minutes under low flame. Stir it very often to avoid burn.
  4. Take off the black pepper and dry roast the fennel seeds for 2 minutes under low flame. Stir it frequently to avoid burn.
  5. Take off the fennel seeds and dry roast the cumin seeds for 60 to 90 seconds under low flame. Stir the seeds regularly to avoid burn.
  6. Finally, take off the cumin seeds and roast the dried red chilies under low heat for 3 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and roast it. Stir frequently to avoid burn.
  7. Now collect all these dry roasted items in a bag and bring it to the nearest spice grind mill. You can grind it by your own if you have a good large grinder. Once you grind it to a smooth powder, put it in a large pot and spread it using a spoon. After 10 minutes, once the heat gets down, put it on an airtight bottle.
Notes
1. Some people add dry turmeric root as well. I didn’t use that in this recipe, but if you really want, add 25 grams of dry turmeric root.
2. This curry powder is perfect for any Sri Lankan dishes. But some people use different curry powder for meat-related curries. For that, you have to add 1 nutmeg, 3 cinnamon sticks, 8 cardamom, and 15 cloves additionally.
3. You may need a large cooking wok to dry roast the dried red chilies.
