curry powder

You must create your own curry powder. There is none in the marketplace that does not contain offending ingredients. I actually had most of the ingredients on hand myself, but if you leave out one or two, your curry powder will still be good. I left 1/4 t. cinnamon out because so many people are allergic to it even though it is neutral for the A Positive Non-secretor. I substituted allspice, cloves and nutmeg but it would be OK to have all of them in it. I suggest making a small amount first, as in this recipe, and then, if there is no reaction, making a larger amount to keep on hand. I use freeze dried ingredients when I can.

2 T. coriander

1 T. cumin

1/2 t. salt

1 t. turmeric

1/2 t. paprika

1/4 t. allspice

1/2 t. rice flour

1/2 t. garlic granules

1/2 t. freeze dried onion

1/2 t. parsley

1/4 t. dried mustard

1/2 t. chile powder

1/4 t. dill

dash cloves

dash nutmeg

1/4 t. fennel

1/4 t. ginger

1/4 t. cardamom

dash cayenne pepper (careful!)

If any of the spices are too large (like freeze dried garlic), grind them up. Otherwise, just put your spice mixture in a spare spice bottle, shake it, label it and enjoy.
