Mughal Garam Masala


Mughal Garam Masala

1/2 cup (about 60) black or 1/3 cup (about 200) green cardamom pods
2 Cinammon sticks, 3 inches long
1 T whole cloves
1 T black peppercorns
1 1/2 t grated nutmeg (optional)

Remove seed from cardamom pods, break up cinammon sticks and grind all together in a spice grinder (you'll probably have to do it in batches if you use a little coffee grinder). Note: recipe may be cut in half. Makes 3/4 cup
