Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/2 teaspoon fenugreek ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon cloves ground
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon Turmeric ground
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper ground
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt adjust to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Mix well.
  2. Store in a spice container and use as desired.

Notes

  • Makes about 1/3 cup.
  • For the best flavor, start with whole seeds or berries (such as fenugreek seeds, cumin seeds, whole dried chilies), then lightly toast them in a warm pan for 1-2 minutes to loosen their oils and release their natural flavor. Then grind them with a spice grinder and combine them with the other dried ingredients.
  • This recipe is VERY customizable. Feel free to omit or add more of any of your preferred ingredients.
