DIY Curry powder

Hello everyone,

Curry powder... probably the easiest spice blend to find... but not where I live. I never though one day I would be unable to find curry powder but apparently it is possible. The more I live in Indonesia, the more I discover things I used to find without any problems back in Europe, that are just next to impossible to find where I currently live. Among all those things, curry powder was the last thing I expected not to find. I mean they do have their own version of the curry but the taste is nowhere close to what you expect from a curry, whether it is an Indian, a Thai or any other kind of curry I tried before.

Anyway, the reason why they don't sell curry powder is simple: they do their blend themselves when it comes to it. So I decided to do the same: I started to try some blends and came up with this recipe which is dedicated to the people who somehow cannot get to a curry blend or, wish to do it themselves as a homemade curry blend is definitely better than the one you can find in supermarkets.
