This blend is the hottest curry powder we found in Africa, although some pastes like berbere might top it on the heat scale.  Traditionally in Malawi, the spices are sun-dried before being ground and are not toasted.  Note the large amount of cloves in this recipe, which is a possible influence form nearby Madagascar, a clove-growning island.

Ingredients


  • 10 small, hot dried red chilies, such as piquins or santakas, seeds and stems removed
  • 3 tablespoons coriander seed
  • 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
  • 3 tablespoons poppy seed
  • 2 teaspoons mustard seed
  • 1 tablesppon cumin seed
  • 1 tablespoon powdered turmeric
  • 10 whole cloves
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon


Instructions


Combine all ingredients in a spice mill and process to a fine powder.
Servings
about 3/4 cup
