BO-KAAP CAPE MALAY CURRY POWDER - SOUTH AFRICAN SPICE MIXTURE

Bo-Kaap Cape Malay Curry Powder - South African Spice Mixture image

My take on Cape Malay curry powder; I devised this when I finally finished my precious box of this type of curry powder, that had been sent to me in a Herbs and Spices swap by Zurie! I checked the ingredients list and finally after a little trial and error, I came up with this, and it is a pretty close match! Influenced by Malay cuisine, Cape/Malay curry powder/masala is a blend of sweet and pungent spices to include cloves, cardamon, fennel, mustard, coriander, turmeric, fenugreek, a little chilli and black pepper. A curry powder/masala of a mild heat yet full of the flavours you expect in Indian curry. This curry spice mix is wonderful in all types of curries, but especially authentic Cape Malay style cuisine, and of course curries.

Time 7m

Yield 1 Large Jar Curry Powder

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 tablespoon clove
1/2 cup coriander seed
1 tablespoon fennel seed
1 tablespoon black mustard seeds
3 tablespoons fenugreek seeds
2 tablespoons black peppercorns
3 small dried hot red chilies, seeds and stems removed
3 tablespoons cumin seeds
1/4 cup ground cardamom
1/4 cup ground turmeric
1 tablespoon ground ginger
2 curry leaves, chopped into small pieces

Steps:

Place all the whole seeds in a frying pan and dry roast for a minute or two, until they become pungent and release their fragrance. Place them in a food processor or coffee grinder and pulse until they are finely ground - or grind them with a pestle and mortar.
Add the remaining ground spices, including the chillies and the curry leaves, to the roasted spices and mix well.
Store in an airtight jar or tin for up to 6 months, in a dry, cool and dark place.

Tips:

Experiment with different types of curry powder to find the flavor profile you enjoy the most.
Toast the curry powder in a pan over medium heat for a few minutes to enhance its flavor.
Add a bit of yogurt or coconut milk to your curry to make it creamy and rich.
Serve your curry with rice, naan bread, or roti.
Garnish your curry with fresh cilantro, mint, or lime wedges.
