4 oz Coriander Seeds
5 Bay Leaves
4 oz White Cumin Seeds
1 oz Cardamoms
1 oz Cloves
2″ Stick Cinnamon
2 oz Ground Chili (Not “Chili
-Powder”!!) 2 oz Black Pepper
1 ts Freshly Grated Nutmeg
Toast the Coriander, Bay leaves, Cumin, Cardamoms, Cloves and Cinnamon carefully in a heavy frying pan on top of the stove. Grind up finely in a coffee grinder or blender and combine with the powdered ingredients. Keeps well in a sealed jar. Omit the Chili and Pepper for a blander and more fragrant Garam Masala for delicate dishes.
