Nina's Mums Garam Massala

An old friend of mine gave me this recipe. There is enough here to make a years supply. Once you make this one once you will never revert to the shop bought stuff.

Ingredients

1/2 lb Cumin Seeds
1/2 lb Corriander Seeds
1/8 lb Black Peppercorns
1/2 lb Cinnamon Sticks
1/4 lb Black Cardamon Pods
1/4 lb Cloves
1/8 lb Bay Leaves
5 Nutmegs

Preparation

Gring all the ingredients together. You may wish to invest in an electric coffee grinder for this but you will not be able to use it for anything else as the cloves will really flavour it. This spice can be added to most indian dishes to give an authentic taste.
