Bird Flu Curry Powder
From:Celticevergreen

This is an adaption of a Malay Chinese spice recipe which is "guaranteed" to keep the Bird Flu away from those who use it. I doubt it works but it is sure mighty tastey.

4 tbsp

• 2 dried red chilies
• 6 cloves
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 1 teaspoon coriander seed
• 1 teaspoon fennel seed
• 2 teaspoons szechuan peppercorns
• 1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon grated star anise
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric

Deseed and remove stems from the chilies.

In a heavy frying pan or wok, dry-fry the first six ingredients until they give off a rich aroma. Remember to stir and shake the pan frequently until the spices are done.

Allow to cool and then grind in a grinder. Stir in the nutmeg, star anise and tumeric.

Use immediately or store in an airtight jar away from light for no more than one month.
