Ingredients :
ü Coriander seeds - 4 tbsp
ü Cumin seeds - 1 tbsp
ü Black Peppercorns – 1 tbsp
ü Black Cumin seeds (Shahjeera) –
1 ½ tsp
ü Dry Ginger – 1 ½ tsp
ü Black Cardamom - 3-4 large
pods approx
ü Cloves – 2-3
ü Cinnamon - 2 x 1” pieces
ü Crushed Bay Leaves - 2
Method :
v Heat a heavy skillet on a medium flame and gently roast all ingredients
(leave cardamom in its pods till later) except the dry ginger, till they turn a
few shades darker.
v Stir occasionally. Do not be tempted to speed up the process by turning
up the heat as the spices will burn on the outside and remain raw on the
inside.
v When the spices are roasted turn off the flame and allow them to cool.
v Once cooled, remove the cardamom seeds from their skins and mix them
with all the other roasted spices.
v Grind them all together, to a fine powder in a grinder.
v Store in an airtight container in a cool and dark place.
