Vindaloo Spice Mix
Description
This Vindaloo Spice Mix features a combination of whole spices toasted briefly to release their aromas. The core spices include cumin seeds, coriander seeds, black peppercorns, green cardamom pods, cloves, a cinnamon stick, and dried Kashmiri red chilies. After toasting, the spices are cooled and then finely ground into a powder, suitable for use in Vindaloo curry or other Indian dishes needing a warm, complex spice profile.
The Kashmiri red chilies impart a striking red color and mild heat, distinguishing this blend from hotter chili powders. Toasting enhances the spices’ flavors, making the blend aromatic and balanced.
The mixture is stored in an airtight container to preserve its freshness and potency in a cool, dry place. This allows the blend to be prepared in advance and used as needed.

- 2 teaspoons coriander seeds

Instructions
