Garam Masala

• 1 Whole nutmeg
• 10 Whole cloves
• 1 Cassia Stick (sold as cinnamon sticks in supermarkets)
• 1 tsp Black Peppercorns
• 2 tbs Coriander seeds
• 1 tbs Cumin seeds
• 1 tbs Fennel seeds
• 1 tbs Cardamom pods (about 6 pods)
• 1 tsp Cayenne pepper (add more if you prefer a hotter spice, or substitute for dried chillies)
• 1 tsp Turmeric

1. If you’re using a Thermomix, you can add all the ingredients to the bowl and whizz at speed 10 / 20 seconds. Check inside to confirm, but everything should be a fine powder.
2. If you’re not using a Thermomix or similar high powered blender, add the first four ingredients, and blend for 30 seconds or until broken into pieces. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend for a further 30 – 60 seconds depending on your blender, until all the spices are crushed.
3. Store in an airtight container and use within a month for the best flavours.**keeperofthekitchen**
