Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons cumin seeds
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- 1 tablespoon mustard seeds
- 1 tablespoon whole cloves
- 1 tablespoon peppercorns
- 1 tablespoon ground turmeric
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
Instructions:

Toast the Seeds: In a nonstick pan, add the cumin, coriander, poppy, and mustard seeds. Toast them over medium heat until the mustard seeds start to jump about, releasing their aromatic flavors into the air.
-
Add the Aromatics: Incorporate the cloves and peppercorns into the pan, stirring gently to mix the spices evenly. Allow the combination to become fragrant as they warm together.

Grind the Spices: Once the seeds are toasted and aromatic, remove the mixture from the heat. Proceed to grind the spice blend either with a mortar and pestle for a traditional touch or with a food processor/blender for a quicker option.

Incorporate the Powders: After achieving a fine consistency, combine the freshly ground spice mixture with the ground turmeric and ginger. Ensure the spices are evenly distributed for a balanced flavor profile.
