Malawi Curry Powder

Tuesday, 21 October 2008

Description

This blend is the hottest curry powder we found in Africa, although some pastes like berbere might top it on the heat scale. Traditionally in Malawi, the spices are sun-dried before being ground and are not toasted. Note the large amount of cloves in this recipe, which is a possible influence form nearby Madagascar, a clove-growning island.
