Curry powder hot

Ingredients:
10 dried red chillies (vary quantity to taste),
6 tablespoons coriander seeds,
4 tablespoons cumin seeds,
2 teaspoons fenugreek seeds,
2 teaspoons black mustard seeds,
2 teaspoons black peppercorns,
1 tablespoon ground turmeric,
4 curry leaves,
1 teaspoon ground ginger.

Preparation:
Destalk the dried red chillies. Heat up a heavy frying pan (cast iron carail is best). Using medium heat, dry fry the chillies, coriander, cumin, fenugreek, mustard seeds and black peppercorns until a rich aroma is developed. Stir constantly to even roast and avoid burning the ingredients.
Allow to cool and grind the spices in a coffee grinder or by using a pestle and mortar. Stir in the ginger and turmeric. When cooking a curry, add 4 curry leaves to the powder.
Enjoy.
