Notes

• Yes, you can get curry powder pre-ground from the store - BUT REMEMBER - spices have a medicinal shelf life of about 30 days before they start losing their potency.

• Hence, if you are using spices to strengthen your gut health, you want to grind them fresh from the seed when you can - that is why we are using cumin seeds, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, black peppercorns, and cardamom seeds, and grinding them fresh with the other ingredients.
