Garam Masala - Lawson Recipe - Cooking Index
2 1/2 cups | 275g / 9.7oz | Coriander seeds |
1 cup | 110g / 3.9oz | Cumin seeds |
1/4 lb | 113g / 4oz | Large cardamoms |
1/2 cup | 118ml | Cinnamon |
2/3 cup | 157ml | Cloves |
1 cup | 62g / 2.2oz | Peppercorns |
1 tablespoon | 15ml | Grated nutmeg |
Roast the coriander and cumin seeds, separately, in a warm oven or under a low grill for about 3 to 5 minutes, shaking them round constantly if under a grill. This is to make them easier to grind and the seeds should not burn. Peel the cardamoms and remove the husks. Grind all the spices in a blender or finely adjusted coffee grinder. Store in an airtight container. Use as directed in the recipes.
