"This blend is the hottest curry powder we found in Africa, although some pastes like harrisa and berbere might top it on the heat scale.
Traditionally in Malawi, spices are sun-dried before being ground and are not toasted. Note the large amount of cloves in this recipe, a possible influence from nearby Madagascar, a clove-growing island."
