Instructions

  1. Place the whole spices (reserving the ground nutmeg and mace) in a dry skillet and toast them over medium-high heat for several minutes, stirring frequently, until the spices are very fragrant and the lighter spices have become deeper golden in color. Note: Be careful not to scorch the spices or they will become very bitter.Transfer the toasted spices to a bowl and let them cool completely.Place the cooled spices in a coffee/spice grinder or a blender along with the ground nutmeg and mace.  If you haven't already done so it is easiest to grind the cinnamon if you break it into pieces.Grind the spices until you get a fine powder.  Transfer the garam masala to an airtight jar and store in a dark place. Will keep for several months but for optimal flavor use them within a month or two. This makes roughly 1/2 cup of garam masala.
