Hi HS

Chilli Powder, Coriander Powder, Turmeric Powder, Mustard Oil, Fenugreek Leaves, Cumin Powder, Bayleaves, Mustard Seeds, Cardamom Powder, Cinnamon Powder, Black Pepper Powder, Cloves Fenugreek Powder, Nutmeg Powder.

Now the trick is to professionally blend all these ingredients 

Much easier to buy a packet

Thanks Guy's,
I know I can buy it on-line, But SHMBO won't have our card details put on the web since we where hacked into a couple of years ago, (Luckily we had a gold card and our money was refunded by the bank,) But since then, No Way.
Hence asking for the recipe.
I do have a question though, Where does the mustard oil come in if this is a powder?

i think this is the answer

One thing I have noticed that seems odd, the shelf-life of King of Spices Basaar does not seem very long for some reason, compared to normal ground spices.  I've had a couple of bags up to now, and you only get a couple of months to use it up!  The consistancy is strange too, it's almost slighty damp or oily, compared to a 'normal' free-flowing spice mix.

p.s. if you wanted to make it last longer, mix only the dry spices. then when you come to use it, make a dry paste with mustard oil.
cheers, frank.

Thanks Frank,
That explains it, All I got to do now is figure out what is what with the spices, Unless of course we have a spice wizard on here somewhere ;D

The Bassar Curry Masala that I use (Al Noor) is bone dry, and lasts at least two years, although it does start to lose its pungency by the end of that time, but some Achari Masala that I bought recently looks and feels distinctly oily.
