Home Made Curry Powder
Hola Chicos,
Welcome to my first part of a series on Vegetarian Indian Cooking. Let’s start off with the basic-home made curry powder. This powder is used basically with most of my healthy and delicious Indian meals.
I adore Indian food. When we lived in North America I befriended the owners of a popular authentic Indian restaurant.
Unfortunately, Montevideo, Uruguay is not yet offering authentic Indian food. Happy to say, I can make my own dishes just by using key ingredients-coriander seeds, cumin seeds, turmeric and chili powder.
Most or even all of these key ingredients can be purchased in a country in South America. Especially Montevideo, Uruguay there are a few herb shops in the Centro District that I have listed on my sister site http://www.odeliza.com under Super mercados.
