Curry powder is a popular spice mix that is considered a native of South Asian Cuisines. It is composed of several other spices which can vary depending on each region. It can change slightly, thus, altering the specific health benefits you can get from the powder. Some of the most common and beneficial ingredients of curry powder include the following: red pepper, basil, cardamon, cumin, turmeric and coriander (cilantro).

I believe that cooking is a personal experience. I personally do not measure the ingredients most of the time and just rely on my taste when adding flavors. Therefore, you can follow these steps or you can be creative and use ingredients you want.
