HOME MADE GARAM MASALA



GARAM MASALA
4 tbsp coriander seeds
1 tbsp cumin seeds
1 tbsp black peppercorns
11/2 tsp black cumin seeds
11/2 ginger powder
3/4 tsp black cardamons
3/4 tsp cloves whole
3/4 tsp cinnamon
3/4 tsp crushed bay leaves

In a moderate non-stick pan warm the spices, (not the ginger or cinnamon), once the seeds start moving and popping turn the heat down and stir in the reserved powders.  Take off the heat, remove all the seeds from the cardamon pods and then put into a pestle and mortar, grind to an even powder and store in an air tight glass jar, or use immediately.
