Ingredients

Whole Spices

  • 3 mace blades
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 3 cardamom green
  • 2 inch cinnamon stick
  • 3 - 5 whole cloves
  • 4 tablespoons coriander seed
  • 1 tablespoon cumin seed
  • 2 tablespoons fenugreek
  • 2 teaspoons nutmeg

Powdered Spices

  • 2 teaspoons nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons ground ginger
  • 3 tablespoons red chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric

Instructions

  • Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Toast the spices, shaking the pan constantly, until fragrant. This should take about 2 minutes.
  • Allow whole spices to cool. Transfer these whole spices to a blender and blend. Add the powdered spices (salt, sugar, etc) to the blender and grind to a fine powder.
  • Shake well. Store in a glass jar or other airtight container in a cool, dark place.

Notes

If whole spices are not available, you can use powdered or ground spices instead, but don't toast them.
