Cari Curry Powder Recipe Recipe
Having had two blogs at the beginning of my blogging ‘career’ there are some recipes which I know I have done, but when I search for them here, they don’t appear. I started blogging in September 2009 and only started this blog in April 2010. I don’t mind that I have to reproduce some of the recipes as at the beginning I did not even bother with photographs. When I finally did, I used the camera on my cell phone. Now I use a point and shoot Sony camera with a food setting and a timer. I don’t have money to spend on a decent food bloggers’ camera so for now, this will have to do. I had to make this cari recipe again as I will be sharing with you a recipe using the curry powder. My Curry book suggests you make your own curry powders from scratch, and I can readily agree with this. Cari is a Vietnamese curry powder which is influenced by Indian curries but uses star anise, an ingredient used in Vietnamese curries.
Do you make your own curry powders?
