- Minutes to Prepare:
- Minutes to Cook:
- Number of Servings: 16
Ingredients
2 Tbsp cup Rice, red or basmati4 tbsp Coriander seed 3 tbsp Cumin seed 2 Tbsp whole black peppercorns 1 Tbsp Black Mustard Seeds 2 tsp Cardamom Seeds 1 tsp Whole Cloves 1 tsp Fennel seed Curry Leaves, about 2-3, broken1/4 Cinnamon Stick, cracked
Use a dry pan for all the cooking.
Toast about 2 Tbsp of cardamom pods then crush them. Pick out and discard the hulls and keep the seeds. There may be a little debris; that's ok. (OR use seeds if you can find them already hulled, ie in a mid-east grocery store)
Toast the seasonings in batches, 1-2 things at a time for about 2-3 minutes until slightly toasted. The scent will release as they are cooking. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Also toast the rice.
I ended with curry leaves, cloves and (cracked) cinnamon stick.
Blend all ingredients in batches in a spice grinder and mix together. Store in a jar and use as soon as you can. It's better fresh.
Apparently the roasted seasoning is recommended for more robust foods like meat dishes.
Serving Size: Makes about 16 Tablespoons, or 1 Cup
