Ethiopian Berbere

== Description ==
Most of these spices can be found at an Indian or middle eastern market; hopefully there is one near you. The best way to grind those spices is with a coffee grinder. If you don't have one of those handy, using a blender set on "liquify" works pretty well too. I have tried grinding a batch of garam masala with a mortar and pestle, and i had to give up and resort to a blender because it would have taken me hours otherwise.
== Ingredients ==
* 10 dried red chiles
* ½ tsp coriander seeds
* 5 cloves
* seeds from 6 green cardamom pods
* ¼ tsp ajowan seeds
* 8 allspice berries
* ½ tsp black peppercorns
* ½ tsp fenugreek seeds
* 1 small piece of cinnamon
* ½ tsp ground ginger
== Directions ==
# Heat a heavy frying pan (without oil) and put in the chilies and other whole spices after 2–3 minutes.
# Dry roast over a medium heat until they darken, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
# Leave the spices to cool, then remove and discard the seeds from the chilies and crumble the chilies into the mixture.
# Grind everything, including the ginger, to a fine powder, and store in an airtight container for up to four months.
