How to Make Garam Masala

How to Make Garam Masala

This makes about three tablespoons.

1 tablespoon coriander seeds
1 tablespoon cummin
1 teaspoon green cardamoms
1 teaspoon cloves
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
2 sticks of cinnamon, approx two inches in length
2 bay leaves
½ small nutmeg
4 black cardamoms

Place all ingredients into an electric coffee grinder and
grind for one minute. Carefully remove lid and test by
rubbing a little of the mixture between forefinger and
thumb. Finely ground spices should not feel gritty. If
necessary, switch on the machine for another few seconds.

Put the garam masala into a small airtight container,
preferably made of glass or plastic, and label.
