How to Make Garam Masala Spice Blend

  1. Heat a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add 2 tablespoons coriander seeds, 1 tablespoon cumin seeds, 1 teaspoon cardamom seeds (lightly crushed), 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, 1 teaspoon fennel seeds, 1 teaspoon mustard seeds, 6 cloves, and 1-2 red chilies (adjust to your spice preference).
  2. Toast the spices, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to burn them.
  3. Let the spices cool slightly. Then, grind the toasted spices to a fine powder using a clean coffee grinder or spice mill.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon turmeric powder to the ground spices and pulse to combine thoroughly.
  5. Your Garam Masala is ready! Use immediately for the freshest flavor, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 month.
