This technique will allow you to make you own homemade curry paste. Roasting the spices brings our a full rich flavor. You can make it in advance and store it in the refrigerator to use as needed.
- Add coriander, cloves, anise seeds, cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, and mustard seeds to a dry pan using medium heat and toast, moving around frequently. As soon as you see a little smoke, stir once more and remove from pan.

- Add enough water to make a paste if needed.
- Store an air tight jar.
