Garam Masala
GROUND SPICE MIXTURE
To make about 1 1/2 cups (24 tablespoons)
5 three-inch pieces cinnamon stick
1 cup whole cardamom pods, preferably green cardamom
1/2 cup whole cloves
1 cup whole cardamom pods, preferably green cardamom
1/2 cup whole cloves
1/2 cup whole cumin seeds
1/2 cup whole coriander seeds
1/2 cup whole black peppercorns
1/2 cup whole coriander seeds
1/2 cup whole black peppercorns
Preheat the oven to 200°. Spread the cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, cumin, coriander and peppercorn in one layer in a large shallow roasting pan. Roast on the bottom shelf of the oven for 30 minutes, stirring and turning the mixture two or three times with a large spoon. Do not let the spices brown.
Break open the cardamom pods between your fingers or place them one at a time on a flat surface and press down on the pod with the ball of your thumb to snap in open. Pull the pod away from the seeds inside and discard it. Set the seeds aside. Place the roasted cinnamon sticks between the two layers of a folded linen towel and pound them with a rolling pin or a kitchen mallet until they are finely crushed.
Combine the cardamom seeds, crushed cinnamon, cloves, cumin seeds, coriander seeds and Peppercorns in a small pan or bowl and stir them together until they are well mixed. Grind the spices a cup or so at a time by pouring them into the jar or an electric blender and blending at high speed for 2 or 3 minutes, until they are completely pulverized and become a smooth powder. If the machine clogs and stops, turn it off, stir the spices once or twice, then continue blending. As each cupful of spices is ground, transfer it to a jar or bottle with a tightly fitting lid.
Garam masala may be stored at room temperature in an airtight container, and will retain its full flavor for 5 or 6 months.
