Instructions
- Take the cardamom seeds out of the skin and place them in a small bowl.
- Break the cinnamon into smaller pieces.
- Place the broken cinnamon, black peppercorns, cloves, cumin seeds, and nutmeg in a frying pan. Then, turn the heat to medium and dry roast the spices for about two minutes. Keep stirring the spices to prevent them from burning.
- Some spices will crackle, and they will be fragrant. Take the spices off the heat and place them on a small plate or bowl. Let them cool.
- Once the spices are at room temperature, put them in an electric spice grinder container.
- Grind the spices until they turn into fine powder.
- Transfer the spice blend into a food container or a jar with a lid. Store the jar in a cool room and away from direct sunlight.
Notes
- If possible, use black cumin seeds. However, ordinary ones will do just fine.
- Some nutmegs are pretty big, so I sometimes use ¼ of it.
- You can vary your garam masala by adding more or less of a particular spice you like.
