4 parts black peppercorns
4 parts coriander seed
11/2 parts cumin seed
11/2 parts fennel seed
1 part whole cloves
1 part cardamom pods
1 part cinnamon sticks
Using an electric coffee mill grind all ingredients together until finely ground. Store in airtight container.
*This is an excellent recipe. Best made in small batches (e.g.. 1 part = 1 teaspoon) as spices begin to deteriorate once ground and lose their potency.
