Garam Masala-2

4 1/2 t cumin seeds
4 1/2 t coriander seeds
2 t black peppercorns
1 1 1/2-inch stick cinnamon, broken into small pieces
1 1/2 t cardamom seeds (remove them from the pods)
1/2 t whole cloves

Directions ::..

Heat a small heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ingredients, and cook them, shaking the pan, for about 5 minutes or until the spices are brown but not burned.

Transfer the spices to a bowl, and let them cool. In a mortar with pestle or in an electric coffee grinder or in a spice grinder, grind the spices to a fine powder. Store the garam masala in an airtight jar.

Makes about 1/3 cup.

I have never bothered with the “real” recipe, but have just mixed in the proportions given in the “easy” recipe, as needed. It’s delicious for all your garam needs!
