In a dry frying pan, over low heat, roast each ingredient separately till light-medium brown.
Stir constantly[coriander, cumin, ani seeds, rice must be fairly brown, but do not let them burn].
Mix all the roasted ingredients, put into a grinder and grind to a fine powder.
Store in an air tight jar.
I use this curry powder for fish curry, meat curry.
