Mix thoroughly the following ingredients after they have been separately reduced to the finest powder and passed through a fine hair or lawn sieve:—
6 oz. coriander seed.
3 oz. black pepper.
1 oz. cummin-seed.
1-1/2 oz. fenugreek-seed.
3/4 oz. cayenne pepper.
3 oz. best pale turmeric.
Set the powder before the fire to dry, and turn it often; then withdraw it, let it become cold, and bottle it immediately. Keep it closely corked.
Obs.—We cannot think a large proportion of black pepper a desirable addition to currie powder, as it gives a strong coarse flavour: but as it may be liked by persons who are accustomed to it, we give the preceding and the following receipt without varying either: the second appears to us the best.
| Coriander-seed | 8 oz. |
| Chinese turmeric | 4 oz. |
| Black pepper | 2 oz. |
| Cassia | 1/2 oz. |
| White ginger | 1 oz. |
| Cayenne pepper | 1/2 oz. |
