How to Make Black Spice
- Heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, 1 teaspoon coriander seeds, 1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns, 1/4 teaspoon mustard seeds, and 2 green cardamom pods. Toast, stirring frequently, until fragrant (about 2-3 minutes).
- Remove from heat and let the spice mixture cool completely.
- Once cooled, grind the toasted spices using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle until a fine powder is formed.
- Stir in 1/4 teaspoon black salt (kala namak).
- Store your homemade Black Spice blend in an airtight container away from direct sunlight for up to 3 months.
