Homemade curry powder

I was on a cleaning spree and cleaned up my pantry and fridge. I saw that there was a loner in the fridge, a big green capsicum. I then quickly made this sabzi with homemade curry powder/ podi potta kaai which tastes yummy and delicious. You can make the powder and store it for a few days (approx.15 days) in the fridge. The method to make this delicious curry powder is very simple and is as follows.

Cumin seeds - 1/2 tbsp
Black pepper - 10 count
Dry Red chillies - 5-6
Urad Dal - 1 tsp

Poppy seeds / Khus Khus- 1 tsp

Sesame seeds - 1/2tbsp

Cinnamon - 1 inch piece

Cloves - 2 

Dry coconut/ Copra - 3 tbsp

Fenugreek / Methi seeds - 1/2 tsp

Curry leaves - 7-8

Method:

• Dry roast all these ingredients until a nice aroma comes out.
• Cool them and grind them to a medium coarse powder.
• Add it to vegetables like capsicum, potato, brinjal/ eggplant and serve with Rasam rice.
• Enjoy!!!
