Beriberi Spice Mix

Spike


List of Ingredients




2 teaspoons cumin seed, or powder
1 teaspoon cardamom seeds (shell off husks), or powder
1/2 teaspoon whole allspice (or ground)
1 teaspoon fenugreek seed (or powder)
1 teaspoon coriander seed (or powder)
8 whole cloves, or ground
1 teaspoon black peppercorns, or freshly ground
5 teaspoons red pepper flakes or crumbled dried red peppers
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger root (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sweet paprika (can use hot)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon







Recipe



Toast all the seeds and whole cloves in a small frying pan for 2 minutes, stirring constantly (open window or turn on the stove vent--it can smoke). Grind the spices in a spice grinder. If you are using pre-ground spices, ignore and go on to the next step.

Mix all remaining ingredients. Place in a tightly covered container and refrigerate. This mixture can used with many combinations of legumes, rice or vegetables.

NOTE: There are two ways to make this - with whole spices that you grind, or with powdered versions of the spices. The first way gives you a more powerful flavor, but it may be more practical the second way, particularly if you don't have a spice grinder.
