Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cumin seeds (or 10 tbsp ground cumin)
  • 3 tbsp coriander seeds (or 11 ¼ tsp ground coriander)
  • 2 tbsp black peppercorns (or 9 tsp ground back pepper)
  • 12 whole cloves

  • 1/2 tsp ground mace

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Toast all the spices EXCEPT ground mace in a cast iron skillet or other non stick pan over medium heat. Stir often and turn off the heat after spice gives off aromatic fragrance. Several minutes should do the trick. Don't burn!
  2. Allow to cool and grind in spice/coffee grinder or blender along with the ground mace. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Note - video does not show whole cloves, but is included in the recipe.
