Ingredients

Servings
  • ¼ cup green cardamom pods
  • 3 bay leaf
  • 3 star anise optional, whole
  • 5 cinnamon stick
  • 2 tablespoon clove whole
  • 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
  • ½ cup coriander seeds
  • ¼ cup cumin seeds
  • 1 tablespoon fennel seeds

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cardamom, bay leaves, star anise, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and black peppercorns. Roast until very aromatic and slightly toasted, about 5 minutes. Stirring occasionally. Transfer to a large platter.
  2. Add the coriander seeds to the same skillet over medium heat and roast until aromatic and slightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Transfer to the platter.
  3. Add the cumin seeds and fennel seeds to the same skillet over medium heat and roast until aromatic and slightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Transfer to the platter.
  4. Before transferring the spices to your spice grinder, you may need to cut the bay leaves in half and snap the cinnamon sticks in half. Use a large spoon to transfer the toasted spices and aromatics to a spice grinder (this may need to be done in 2 batches). Grind for about 1 minute. Check for any pieces that didn't get ground. Grind again. Discard any large pieces (cinnamon). Transfer to a jar or container with a tight-fitting lid. Store in a cool place.
