Garam Masala Spice Blend
A fragrant blend that's perfect for your Indian-inspired dishes. I have to admit that I don’t really measure out these ingredients anymore. I just grab a teaspoon, scaling the balance in favor of my favorite ingredients.

Ingredients
- 9 sticks cinnamon , about 1 inch each
- 2 teaspoons whole coriander seeds
- 2 teaspoons cumin seeds
- 1 heaping teaspoon whole cloves
- 1 teaspoon black cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon cardamom
- 2-3 bay leaves
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a small pan over medium heat. Stir as pan begins to heat up. When the whole spices begin to turn color and become fragrant, remove from heat and transfer to a plate.
- Allow to cool completely.
- Place ingredients in a mortar or spice/coffee grinder. Grind to a fine powder. Tip: it’s easier if you start with the largest pieces, such as the cinnamon sticks and cloves, and then add the remaining seeds, ending with the bay leaves.
- Transfer to an airtight container. Blend will keep for a couple of months.
