Garam Masala {Indian Spice Blend}

I love Indian food, but rarely make it at home. When I do though, I like to at least make my own garam masala. I feel that making it is so much simpler and yields better flavor.

Garam Masala {Indian Spice Blend}

1/4 cup corriander seeds

1/4 cup cumin seeds

1 tablespoon black peppercorns

1/2 tablespoon green cardamon pods

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

5 dried red peppers 

3 bay leaves

1 cinnamon stick

• Toast all of the ingredients in a pan on medium heat for 10 minutes.
• Once toasted, put into a grinder and grind until smooth.
