East Indian Spice Mix
Herbal Recipe
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon whole cumin seed
1 tablespoon whole cloves
2 tablespoons whole coriander seed
2 tablespoons whole peppercorns
1 teaspoon powdered cinnamon
2 whole cardamom pods
Combine all ingredients, then dry roast in a heavy skillet over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly.
When a strong spice smells develops, remove from heat, cool slightly and grind into a powder.
Store in an airtight container with 2 bay leaves (these will add their fragrance to the mix, but check the bay leaf cautions concerning ingestion of dried bay leaves).
