Ingredients
4 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
4 1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds
2 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 1 1/2 inch stick cinnamon,
1 broken into small pieces
1 1/2 teaspoon cardamom seeds (remove them
1 from the pods)
1/2 teaspoon whole cloves
Cooking Directions:
1. Heat a small heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ingredients, and cook them, shaking the pan, for about 5 minutes or until the spices are brown but not burned.
2. Transfer the spices to a bowl, and let them cool. In a mortar with pestle or in an electric coffee grinder or in a spice grinder, grind the spices to a fine powder. Store the garam masala in an airtight jar.
Makes about 1/3 cup.
It comes from Jane Brody's Good Food Gourmet. at p. 247: "You can prepare a reasonable garam masala by combining equal amounts of cardamom, cumin, cinnamon, and coriander, and smaller amounts of ground cloves and black pepper."
She also provides a "real" recipe for it at p.546 (above).
I have never bothered with the "real" recipe, but have just mixed in the proportions given in the "easy" recipe, as needed. It's delicious for all your garam needs!
