Taken from Harvey Day's many recipe books on the curries of India (I don't like the word 'curry'), Sarojini Mudnani's curry powder recipes are a very good kitchen cupboard standby because Indian spice powders keep for a long time and improve in flavour, but the containers must be airtight and kept out of sunlight:
