    Recipe Introduction

    "This great spice mix is wonderful for its effect on the taste buds as well as healthy. Black pepper and cloves aid food digestion by increasing digestive juices, including natural stomach acid. Ayurvedic medicine use it to treat colds, flus and other infections. Chilies contain capsaicin, which, among its other advantages, is a natural painkiller. "

    List of Ingredients

    10 dried red chili peppers
    ½ teaspoon black peppercorns
    ½ teaspoon ground ginger
    5 whole cloves
    ½ teaspoon coriander seeds
    ¼ teaspoon ajowan or cumin seeds (Use cumin if you cannot find ajowan)
    8 allspice berries
    6 cardamom seeds
    ½ teaspoon fenugreek
    ½ teaspoon cinnamon

    Recipe

    Heat a medium-size skillet. Add the chilies and cook them for 2 to 3 minutes.

    Add the remaining spices and roast for 3 to 4 minutes longer, stirring constantly and shaking the pan to prevent burning, until the mixture begins to brown.

    Transfer to a bowl and let cool. Scrape the chili seeds out with a spoon. Grind the mixture to a fine powder.

    Store it in an airtight container. Can be stored for up to 4 months.
