4 tablespoons curry powder
1 cup grapeseed or safflower oil
3 tablespoons water

In a medium bowl, whisk the curry with 3 tablespoons of water to form a paste. Gradually whisk in the oil. Pour into a jar and let stand at room temperature for at least 2 days.

Carefully pour off the clear oil into a jar and discard the ginger sediment left behind.

The oil can be kept covered in the refrigerator indefinitely.
