This is a genuine Jamaican curry powder recipe without hot pepper, which should be added separately to any dish. You can also use powdered versions of any of the ingredients, but for better flavor use whole seeds. For real Jamaican flavor, you will usually add Scotch bonnet or habanero chile peppers to your recipes. However, if you want to add heat directly to the powder, add 2 to 4 tablespoons cayenne powder to the mix, depending on your taste.
Ingredients
- 0.25 cups whole coriander seeds
- 2 tablespoons whole cumin seeds

The Best Rum Balls
I wanted a good rum ball with a lot of kick, so I sat down and came up with this recipe. I didn't realize how good these were until one year I didn't make them for work — I just about got lynched! Needless to say, I've made them every year since (about 20 years).
