Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons cumin seeds
- 1 tablespoon caraway seeds
- 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
- 1 1/2 tablespoons ground turmeric
- 1 1/2 tablespoons black peppercorns
- 2 teaspoons cardamom seeds removed from their pods about 30 pods
- 6 whole cloves or 1/4 tsp ground cloves
Instructions
- Lightly toast the cumin, caraway and coriander seeds in a skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to let them burn!
- Pour the toasted seeds into a cool bowl. Place the toasted cumin, caraway and coriander seeds in a coffee or spice grinder along with the turmeric, peppercorns, cardamom seeds and cloves.
- Pulse the grinder in long, slow pulses to grind the seeds into a powdery spice mix, stirring inside the grinder periodically to evenly distribute the seeds. It may take a few minutes for the spices to reach the desired powdery texture. Store spice blend in an airtight container in a cool, dry pantry.
- Toasting and grinding the whole spices provides a fresher flavor than using pre-ground spices. However, if you already have ground spices and you don't want to spend more money on whole spices, you may substitute 1/3 the amount of ground spice to 1 whole seed spice. If, for instance, you would like to use ground cumin, you may substitute 2 tsp ground cumin for 2 tbsp cumin seeds.
Notes
- You will also need: coffee or spice grinder, skillet.
- This recipe makes 6-7 tablespoons of spice blend. Servings will vary based on amount needed in recipe.
