Madras Curry Powder

Madras Curry Powder is a traditional Anglo-Indian recipe for a classic hot and aromatic curry powder that makes a flavour base for Madras-style curries and kedgerees. As it’s typically heavily based on turmeric it also makes a great substitute for most African curry spice blends. The full recipe is presented here and I hope you enjoy this classic Indian version of: Madras Curry Powder.
