Homemade Mild Curry Powder
This homemade mild curry powder will transform any dish – the mixture of coriander, cumin, cloves, and more is irresistible.
I’ll be honest, we don’t eat a ton of curry. Ben isn’t really a fan of it (remember when I tried to pretend this Moroccan Chicken didn’t include all the flavors of curry?). But alas, I had my mind set on a goal – creating a copycat Panera Bread squash soup. Have you all tried this soup? Ugh – it is SO good. Not the greatest for you in terms of calories but I’m so obsessed with the flavors. My mom loves it too. In fact, when I got an email from Panera telling me that the soup was back in stores (it’s a seasonal offering), I immediately texted her. We have a love affair with this soup.
I did a little research and found that the soup involved a touch of the flavors of curry. Welllllll guess what?
No curry powder in my house. So I figured I’d tackle this hurdle first and be able to share both recipes with you as the end result. The soup recipe will be coming next week. In the meantime, feel free to use this homemade mild curry powder in all your favorite curry recipes.
Homemade Mild Curry Powder
This homemade mild curry powder will transform any dish – the mixture of coriander, cumin, cloves and more is irresistible.
Ingredients:
- 5 tablespoons ground coriander seeds
- 2 tablespoons ground cumin seeds
- 1 tablespoon ground turmeric
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger

Verdict: This is the perfect blend of spices for my soup and I can’t wait to try it in other recipes.
Husband’s take: He hasn’t tried this…or the soup. It’s been kind of a lunch thing for me.
Changes I would make: None are necessary but if you like a little heat, try adding some cayenne.
Difficulty: Easy!

Um, I think you gave me your unused jar of curry. Sorry about that but now you got to be creative and make your own. I’m anticipating your version of this totally addictive soup, I know we talked about skinnying it up.
must disclose–not a huge curry fan. but, I’d be willing to give this a try!

I love this recipe but now I can’t access it. I see a bracket with recipe in the center but no link.

This is the curry powder I’ve been looking for! Flavorful, but not too spicy! I’m a wimp when it comes to heat. I’ve bought several jars of different brands and tossed them because they didn’t taste good to me. Thank you for this recipe!!
Oh good! I’m so happy to hear that! I love it too. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!
