Garam Marsala
- Ready In:
- 20mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Yields:
-
1/4 cup
ingredients
- 2 tablespoons cumin seeds
- 2 tablespoons coriander seeds
- 2 tablespoons cardamom seeds
- 2 tablespoons black peppercorns
- 1 cinnamon stick, broken up
- 1 teaspoon whole cloves
- 1 teaspoon grated nutmeg
- 1⁄2 teaspoon saffron
directions
- Put the cumin, coriander, cardamom, peppercorns, cinnamon, and cloves in a dry heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Toast the spices, stirring occasionally, until they turn several shades darker and give off a sweet smoky aroma, about 10 minutes. Do not raise the heat to quicken the process, or the spices will brown prematurely, leaving the insides undercooked. Cool completely.
- Working in batches if necessary transfers the mixture to a spice mill or coffee grinder and grind to a powder. Stir in the nutmeg and saffron. Use immediately or store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
