Nigerian Curry Spice Mix or Masala

Nigerian Curry Spice Mix or Masala

The spice mix proportion is good to use when preparing curry for 2-3 people.I love to make my homemade curry masala or spice mix.This one I use when preparing Nigerian inspired dishes.

Ingredients:-

1. 1 Bay leaf.
2. Cinnamon 1 inch.
3. Cloves 3
4. Coriander seeds 1 and half teaspoon.
5. Cumin seeds 1 teaspoon.

 Toast the above and then grind it.

After grinding I mix it with about less than 1/4th teaspoon of black pepper powder + 1/4 teaspoon of Paprika + 1/4 teaspoon of Turmeric powder + 1/2 teaspoon of dried Thyme.

NOTE :-

If using Powdered cinnamon then you don't have to dry roast it and add about 1/8th teaspoon of cinnamon powder instead of 1 inch Cinnamon.

Thyme is an important ingredient in Nigerian cooking .
