GARAM MASALA Spice Mix

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons cumin seeds, such as Foraged Wild Cumin
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black peppercorns, such as Vine-Ripened Black Peppercorns
• 2 teaspoons coriander seeds
• 3 bay leaves
• 2 teaspoons cloves
• 1 teaspoon green cardamom
• 2 pods wild cardamom if available
• 3 pieces star anise
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, such as Heirloom Vietnamese Cinnamon

Directions

Heat a heavy-bottomed pan on medium heat and sauté all the spices, except the cinnamon, until fragrant, about 3 minutes—don’t step away, as they can easily burn.
Cool slightly and process in a spice or coffee bean grinder (you may need to do this in two batches).
Transfer to a bowl, whisk in the cinnamon, and then funnel into an airtight glass storage jar.

Yields about 1/3 cup
