Instructions
- In a sauté pan dry toast the first 9 ingredients on low heat until you can smell their aroma and the seeds start to pop. Shake the pan constantly so as not to burn for 3 minutes.
- Allow spice mixture to cool and then grind with the other ingredients to a powder.
- Store spice mixture in an airtight container for 2 months.
Notes
- As a substitute for Kashmiri chiles you may mix cayenne and paprika. The best ratio for this would be 3 parts paprika to 1 part cayenne. I often times also use dried and ground Guajillo chiles as well.
- A substitute for asafoetida can be 1/8 teaspoon onion powder plus 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder.
