Instructions
- Lightly roast all spices (except amchur and turmeric powder) in a pan until they are fragrant and hot to the touch, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir frequently and make sure not to burn by roasting too long. The goal is to make them a bit toasty so they are easy to grind.
- Take out the roasted spices in a dish and allow them to cool down completely.
- Add the spices to a spice grinder and make a fine powder. Add amchur powder and turmeric powder and pulse 2 to 3 times or until mixed well. Store in an airtight container in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight.

Notes
- If you do not have amchur powder, you can simply skip it and instead squeeze the fresh lemon juice into the chana masala once it is done cooking.
- Ground cumin can be used instead of whole cumin
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon can be used instead of cinnamon stick
- This recipe makes about 4 oz or half a cup of chana masala spice blend
