Recipe Yorky's Garam Masala

[Yorky]

This is the recipe I used courtesy of Madhur Jaffrey. It's from the north of India. Place the following ingredients in a spice grinder or mortar and grind to a very fine powder: 1 tblsp black cardamom seeds, 50 mm stick of cinnamon, 1 tsp black cumin seeds, 1 tsp whole cloves, 1 tsp black peppercorns and a quarter of a nutmeg.

Do you dry roast your seeds prior to grinding??

Not usually but I have roasted the black cumin seeds in the past.

I was taught to dry roast. I wonder if that makes a difference??.?

I certainly love the aroma of dry roasting cumin and coriander seeds.

I have a cast iron fry pan kept purely for dry roasting.
