Homemade Garam Masala

Ok yes you can buy this stuff in the shops but making it yourself will transform the way your curry tastes. Basically if you keep the ratio of the ingredients the same whether its double or treble what i have here it will be ok.

Garam Masala

4 tsp Fennel seeds
4 tsp White Mustard seeds
4 tsp Corriander seeds
2 tsp Black Mustard seeds
2 tsp Chilli Powder
4 tsp Madras Powder
2 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Tumeric
2 tsp White Pepper
2 tsp Seasalt
2 tsp Plain Curry Powder

Put all your spices in a dry frying pan and gently toast the spices for a few minutes just until the aroma starts coming from the pan. Transfer to a pestle and mortar or a wizzy machine thing then blend or bash until you have a fine powder. It doesnt have to be like dust so the odd husk isnt a bad thing.

Enjoy your curry!
