place all but the last three items in a skillet already heated to medium-high heat
shake and stir them until the cumin seeds start popping or smoking and shake some more to keep the smoke to a minimum (about 3-5 minutes total)
let cool completely (this will happen faster if removed from the skillet to a baking sheet
remove and discard the husks from the cardamom pods
! you can open them up by putting them in a mortar and pestle beating them up a little.
in a small bowl combine all the items and mix well
working in batches with a spice grinder process until you have a fine powder
! if you don’t have a great spice grinder then I recommend sifting the powder through a mess strainer before storing
Thank you for sharing it. I’ve never made my curry but plenty of other spice mix. You are inspiring me. Although I prefer my currys with tumeric as the first ingredient and some mustard grains.
Why not include the names of the actual spices you are using and their quantities?
Because it’s extra work if nobody wants it. Some people post every 6 months some people post everyday. It really adds up if you’re a frequent poster.
