Malawian curry powder is a wonderful hot and spicy combination that would be awesome on any number of things. This spice blend makes quite a bit and can be stored in an airtight container for future use. I used this spice blend to make the wonderful fish dish called Chambo. The recipe only calls for a tablespoon, you will love it. I used peri-peri peppers that were dried for the red chilies, I am sure dried Thai chilies would work similarly. It is a very hot curry African blend. Enjoy!
