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.
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.
