Recipe Instructions

* from black or green cardamom pods

Heat a heavy frying pan for 2 minutes over medium-high heat. Combine all

the spices except the mace, and add them to the pan. Dry-roast them,

stirring and turning them constantly until all the spices are several

shades darker and exude a spicy aroma (about 10 minutes). Transfer them to

a bowl. Let spices cool completely; then grind them to a fine powder using

a blender or spice mill. Add the mace to this mixture, mix well, and store

in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.

Makes 1/4 cup.
