Curry Powder
Here is another common spice blend. When you make it fresh it may not be as finely ground as what you buy in the grocery store, but the flavor will be better.
The exception to this is Turmeric. It is almost impossible to grind turmeric with any household appliance. It is best to leave the grinding of this dried root to the professionals.
If you don’t have a coffee grinder dedicated to spices, you should get one. They are not expensive and totally worth it!!
