Ingredients
- 5 bay leaves
- 2 stick cinnamon
- 4 oz coriander seeds
- 4 oz cumin seeds (white)
- 2 oz chili (ground)
- 2 oz black pepper
- 1 oz cardamoms
- 1 ts nutmeg (freshly grated)
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.
