Curry Powder or Koora Podi as it is very popularly known in Andhra Pradesh is a household name especially in Telugu families
This powder is very generously used in the preparation of most curries instead of grated coconut!!
This obviously enhances the taste and flavour of the curries!!!
Ingredients
1 Cup Coriander Seeds
¼ Cup Channa Dal
¼ Cup Urad Dal
An Inch of Tamarind
5-6 Dry Red Chillies
2 Tsp Oil
1-2 Tsp Salt
Curry Powder
Preparation
Heat oil in the pan
Add the coriander seeds, red chillies and the dals
Fry until the dals turn slightly golden brown
Cool and grind into a coarse powder
Bottled and used in the preparation of most curries!!
Note: Personally if I do not have the curry powder handy, I tend to use a couple of teaspoons of a mix of Sambhar Powder and Coriander Powder!
