TIPS

Want to make sure that your curry comes out perfectly? Here are some of the tips that I have for this recipe.

• If you want your own homemade spice blend to be a fine powder, you can grind it up in a spice grinder.
• Only have whole spices like coriander seeds on hand instead of ground spices? Use a mortar and pestle or coffee grinder in a pinch.
• Make sure all the spices are fresh. Spices should be replaced every year for the best tasting dishes.
• Add a dash of fresh cracked black peppercorns for additional flavor to this dish.
