How to make garam masala:
- Roast all ingredients in a dry pan (preferably non-stick) over a very low fire, shaking the pan from time to time.
- When the spices give off fragrance, allow to cool slightly.
- Grind finely in an electric grinder.
- If an electric grinder is not available, grind by hand and press through a fine sieve.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
- Be sure to always close the lid tightly after each use.
