How to Make Quick Garam Masala

  1. Combine 2 tablespoons coriander seeds, 1 tablespoon cumin seeds, 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, 1 teaspoon cardamom pods (lightly crushed), 1/2 teaspoon cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon stick in a small, dry skillet.
  2. Heat the skillet over low heat. Stir the spices constantly for 5-8 minutes, until fragrant and lightly toasted. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
  3. Remove from heat and let the spice mixture cool completely.
  4. Once cooled, grind the spices using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder until you reach your desired consistency.
  5. Store your homemade garam masala in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to 3 months.
