Curry Powder

Curry powder consists of turmeric, black pepper, coriander-seed, cayenne, fenugreek, cardamoms, cumin, ginger, allspice, cloves, and other ingredients. The seeds should be ground in a mill, and mixed with the powder, and when made it should be kept in a bottle closely stopped. A spoonful of cocoa-nut kernel, dried and pounded, gives a delicious flavour to a curry, as does also acid apple. A recipe for making curry powder has already been given (see CURRY, CALCUTTA), and we give another in the following paragraph; but we think it will be found as satisfactory and economical to purchase curry powder of a first-class dealer as to make it at home.
