Home made curry powder mix

[DamsonGin]

Can anyone suggest any good curry powder mixed that I can make up at home, with various quantities of different spices? There are a few good shops nearby so I thought I'd make some up for quick dinners. DS1 can spot chilli powder at twenty paces and I haven't found any shop mixes with none in yet. We tend to make tomato or stock based curries, quite often chicken, if that has a bearing on anything.

For two people I would try the following

1tsp ground coriander
1tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

use that for the base and if you want to experiment some time we use cardamon seed and crush them into the mix

Garam masala doesn't contain chilli and makes a nice, fragrant curry.

Btw, I'd make a curry sauce base first with fried onions, garlic and fresh ginger. Not sure if you do that already.
