Garam Masala
One of the more important Indian spice mixtures, good for many things. The picture shown here is not fully representative of the spice quantities. For example, a whole cinnamon stick or nutmeg would probably be far too much.

Ingredients
2
Star anise
1 tsp
Cassia cinnamon, ground (Ceylon is also good)
5
Cardamom pods, green
1/2 tsp
Pepper, whole
2
black cardamom pods
15
Cloves, whole (~0.5 tbsp)
1 tsp
Mace, alternatively: nutmeg
11/2 tbsp
Coriander, whole
1 tbsp
Cumin
1 tsp
Nutmeg, ground
3-4
Bay leaves, dried
Instructions
- Heat a pan on a high heat
- Add everything except the nutmeg (i.e. everything that is whole) to the pan in the order shown on the left and roast. (Heaviest spices first, lighter ones later)
- Open the black cardamom pods and remove the peel. Allow the spices to cool completely and grind finely in a coffee grinder or mortar.
- If parts are still coarse, separate them through a sieve and grind them again separately.
- Keeps in an airtight container for approx. 3 months. The fresher the better, of course.
