Taken from Charmaine Solomon. "In Sri Lankan cooking one of the main characteristics is that the spices are dark and roasted, this gives an aroma completely different from Indian curries". Used in "Harak mas curry" (Sri Lankan beef curry), "Lampries Curry" and "Mas Ismoru" (Sri Lankan braised beef with gravy).

Tips:

Choose high-quality spices: The quality of your spices will greatly impact the flavor of your curry powder. Look for spices that are fresh, aromatic, and free of any debris.
Roast the spices before grinding: Roasting the spices before grinding will help to bring out their flavor and aroma. You can roast the spices in a pan over medium heat, or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes.
Grind the spices finely: The finer you grind the spices, the more evenly they will distribute in your curry powder. You can use a spice grinder, a coffee grinder, or a mortar and pestle to grind the spices.
Store the curry powder in an airtight container: Curry powder should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. This will help to preserve its flavor and aroma.

Conclusion:

Making your own curry powder is a great way to customize it to your own taste preferences. You can adjust the proportions of the spices to create a curry powder that is mild, medium, or hot. You can also add other ingredients, such as ginger, garlic, or lemongrass, to give your curry powder a unique flavor. With a little experimentation, you can create a curry powder that is perfect for your favorite dishes.
