I often make spice blends for gifting but only keep a few on hand in my own kitchen. One of these is homemade curry powder. By making it in small batches, I have full control over the ingredients and it stays fresh and vibrant better than store-bought versions. Curry powder and garam masala are great examples of easy-to-make spice blends, so we usually prepare both in my spice workshops.

These blends are so flavorful that adding either to a simple recipe changes the entire taste of the dish, like the sweet potato and mango recipe I share this week in my Twice as Tasty column for the Flathead Beacon. I carry homemade curry powder with me whenever we’re sailing or camping to use in this and other recipes I’ll be sharing in one of my Flathead Valley Community College classes this month.
