You see my mise en place but you don’t often see the pre mise. Pictures of that are in the comments.

Curry rice and pork steak. The mise en place is just for the rice. The pork was its own process.

Cost per person: <$2

    Option 1) there is a grocery called Fresh Market that you have never heard of and isn’t in your area. They have vla bagged end cap. Good curry.

    Option 2) I make my own. Curry Powder.
    Servings: 1 cup.
    2 tbsp cardamom pods.
    6 tbsp cumin seeds.
    8 tbsp coriander seeds.
    1 tsp fenugreek seeds.
    1 tsp black peppercorns.
    3 tbsp ground turmeric.
    1 tbsp whole cloves.
    1 tbsp ground cayenne.

    • place all but the last three items in a skillet already heated to medium-high heat.
    • shake and stir them until the cumin seeds start popping or smoking and shake some more to keep the smoke to a minimum (about 3-5 minutes total).
    • let cool completely (this will happen faster if removed from the skillet to a baking sheet.
    • remove and discard the husks from the cardamom pods
      ! you can open them up by putting them in a mortar and pestle beating them up a little.
    • in a small bowl combine all the items and mix well
    • working in batches with a spice grinder process until you have a fine powder.
      ! if you don’t have a great spice grinder then I recommend sifting the powder through a mess strainer before storing.
    • store in an air tight container
