Garam Masala

If you like Indian food, then you need a good garam masala recipe. Garam masala is a spice mix called for in many Indian dishes and cannot be lived without! It's best not to buy it pre-made because who knows how much of what went in there and there's no way to customize it for yourself. And that is the beauty of garam masala - customization.
So, here' my own recipe that is more simple than some.

Garam Masala

2 Tbsp. coriander
2 tsp. ground cumin
1 Tbsp. ground cardamom
1 Tbsp. ground cinnamon
2 tsp. ground cloves
2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp. allspice

1/2 tsp. cayenne
1 tsp. black pepper

Mix until well combined. Keep in an airtight container or spice jar in a cool, dry place.
