Recipe - Poudre De Colombo (Caribbean Curry Spice)

3 Cloves garlic
2 Fresh hot red chilies
1/8 teaspoon Ground turmeric
1 teaspoon Ground coriander
1 teaspoon Ground mustard

Colombo is a type of curry found in the Caribbean islands of Martinique and
Guadeloupe. Although called a powder, this recipe, based on one in The Best
of Caribbean Cooking by Elisabeth Lambert Ortiz, is in fact a paste.

Peel and crush the garlic; remove the seeds from the chilies and mash.
Combine all the ingredients and mix to a paste. Store in the refrigerator
for up to 6 weeks.
