Yep; they vary wildly. Here is one from " The Indian Vegetarian " by

Neelam Batra, that I use sometimes.

 

1/2 c coriander seeds

1/4 c cumin seeds

2 tbsp fenugreek seeds

1 tbsp black peppercorns

1 tbsp fennel seeds

1 tbsp black mustard seeds

1 tbsp white poppyseeds

15 to 20 green cardamom pods

seeds from 7 to 10 black cardamom pods

2 tbsp turmeric

1 tbsp ground ginger

2 tsp ground nutmeg

 

 

Put the first 9 ingredients in a bowl, and grind in batches in a cofe

or spice grinder. Mix well with the turmeric, ginger and nutmeg.

 

Store in an airtight container ina cool, dark place. This stays fresh

for 6 to 8 months in the refrigerator. Keep some in teh kitchen and

refrigerate the rest.

 

You can also add cayenne or other spicy pepper.

I get great curry powder from the Indian grocery

store....they are the best place in town for any type

of spices you can imagine.

A faithful friend is a strong defense, and (s)he that hath found her/him, hath

found a treasure. Nothing can be compared to a faithful friend and no weight of

gold and silver is able to countervail the goodness of her/his fidelity. -
