| Garam masala is a mix of warming spices. Grind it fresh and you will never buy it pre-mixed again. Ingredients | |
| 2 tbsp | coriander seed |
| 2 sticks | cinnamon bark 3 inches each |
| 3 tbsp | cumin seed |
| 1 tbsp | black peppercorns |
| 2 tsp | cloves |
| 2 tsp | green cardamom |
| 1 | star anise broken into small pieces |
| 2 | bay leaves |
Instructions
Combine the coriander, cinnamon, cumin, pepper, cloves, cardamom and star anise in a small skillet.
Toast over medium low heat until fragrant. This takes 2 minutes or so. Don't over-toast.
Let cool. Store in a sealed container in a dark cupboard. It should keep for a few months.
Add the remaining spices.
Grind it in a spice grinder as needed. I use one of those blender style coffee grinders. Grind about 1/4 at a time as needed. The ground garam masala should keep about a week or two at maximum flavour.
