Click here to return to the Holiday special

Makes about 1/3 cup

  • 3 tablespoons cardamom seeds
  • 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
  • 1 teaspoon whole cloves
  • 1 teaspoon black cumin seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
  • One 2-inch cinnamon stick
  • 1 small dried cayenne chile, seeded
  • Preheat the oven to 275 degrees Fahrenheit.

    Put all the ingredients on a small, low-side baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20 minutes, or until the spices are lightly toasted and very aromatic. Place in a spice grinder and process until very fine. Pour into a nonreactive container with a lid. Cover tightly and store in a cool, dark spot for no more than 3 months.
