content: Traditional home-made Garam Masala(Makes about 1.25 cups of spice mix.)5 or 6 pieces of cinnamon stick (about 2.5cm / 1 inch each)1/2 cup whole black cardamom1/2 cup whole black peppercorns1/4 cup whole cloves1/4 cup whole cumin seed1/4 cup whole coriander seeds1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Combine all the ingredients and place them in a baking dish. Roast the spices in the oven for 20-30 minutes, stirring frequently.2. Once roasted, discard the outside shell of the cardamom pods, retaining the small seeds within. Grind the spice mixture for a few minutes at high speed, ensuring everything is completely ground. The ground mixture will keep most of it's flavour for about three months if stored in a container with a tight-fitting lid. Alternatively, you could also just grind what you need at the time using a small spice grinder.

content: Quote from: Halcyon on February 01, 2021, 01:14:21 amI feel this roasting step is a bit redundant, because you roast garam masala (to some degree) while cooking meals anyway. You end up double roasting it, and potentially burning it. Of course, all depends on what stage you add the spice.
