Yes		 This mix is quite similar to Japanese "S&B Oriental Curry Powder", but is a little more assertive in flavor. We also have Japanese Curry Powder (less turmeric). See also Comments.

Do Ahead:
  1. If not on hand, grate and dry Orange Zest. One medium Orange should do.
Make:   -   (20 min)
  1. In a dry skillet over moderate heat, separately roast all Toasted items, stirring until they are aromatic and darken just a shade. Pour out on a plate to cool.
  2. When toasted spices are cool, grind together with all Just Ground items to a fine powder in your spice grinder (see Spice Grinder).
  3. Mix All Ingredients thoroughly.
  4. Package in an airtight jar. Kept away from heat and sunlight it should keep for several months.
NOTES:

  1. Chilis:

      This is where you control the heat of you curry powder. Presumed is Korean Flake, usually just medium hot, which will make a fairly mild powder. Other flake or powder can be used in the amount you feel comfortable with. For details see our Chili Powders & Flake page.

  2. Spice Grinder:

      A little whirling blade coffee grinder works well for this job, in batches, but an Indian Mixie will do the whole recipe in 10 seconds.

  3. Comments:

      I have not found a formula for Korean Curry Powder. They use Japanese S&B, and for Curry Rice, they use Ottogi Curry Sauce Mix (a powdered curry roux) or S&B Golden Curry roux blocks.
  4. U.S. measure: t=teaspoon, T=Tablespoon, c=cup, qt=quart, oz=ounce, #=pound, cl=clove in=inch, ar=as required tt=to taste
