Yum! My son is allergic to fenugreek, which is found in many curry powders, so I was happy to find this recipe. We like it a lot. But now that I read the comment about increasing the cardamom I will try it that way next time!

this is my standard curry powder for home and for cooking classes. Please 2-3 whole cardamom pods instead of 3 seeds. Make a larger amount and store it in a jar. Other than that I will make no changes. Jemy Madhavan
