Recipe: Curry and Hot Spice Mixtures Gluten-free
How useful is this free from gluten recipe page about curry and hot spice mixtures?
Hot spice mixtures can be added to stews, used as a marinade before grilling, or added to vegetable dishes
Blending your own curry powder allows you to select the strength and balance of flavours that suit you. The best flavour comes from dry roasting the whole spices, before grinding when cool. Using ready ground spices makes the whole process much quicker.

Thanks so much for this post! I'm looking forward to trying it, but I'm hoping for some help in buying gluten free bulk spices. Would you have any advice for me (particularly if there are internet vendors that you use?)--thanks!
Cheers! Brian

The best spices are bought as the whole spice and then ground.
Some do go stale so it is not advisable to buy and store large quantities. Whole spices should be gluten-free from any source
