Now, you can buy curry powder.
When you buy curry powder, of course, in the grocery store
or online, it is a blend of spices, okay?
This is my homemade curry blend,
I'm gonna show you what I put in it in a sec.
But I keep it in a tub for about six months,
and when it gets to the bottom, look,
we're gonna use the very last of it.
Gets to the bottom, I fill her back up.
This is a spice mill, okay?
They're very inexpensive, you buy them online
if you don't have them.
I also have hand ones that you grind literally by hand,
and there's a little drawer on the bottom.
Here's my basic curry blend, and I twist this up a lot
for different dishes, but in general,
the building blocks of curry
are cumin, coriander, and turmeric.
To the cumin, coriander, and turmeric,
I add fenugreek, cardamom, this is whole cardamom
from the inside of the pod, white pepper, black pepper,
a little cinnamon, some sort of chili pepper,
this is Aleppo chili, and some sort of mustard,
this is yellow mustard seed.
So that's my basic, okay?
And we're just going to boop boop boop
to fill back up our little curry
cache we keep in our pantry.
(blender whirs)
That's a fun sound.
More potent.
Sounds like summer on the lake.
Look, yum.
So I don't even need this now, but now I'm ready to go
for the next time I wanna make curry.
(audience cheers)
There we go.
(bells chime)
