Ingredients:

8 black cardamom pods
6 tbsp coriander seeds
3 tbsp cumin seeds
1 1/2 tbsp celery seeds
5cm (2 in) length of cinnamon stick
8 cloves
1 tbsp hot chilli powder
1 tsp ground, dried, zedoary root

Method:

Heat a non-stick frying pan. When hot add the cardamom pods, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, celery seeds, cinnamon stick and cloves and dry-fry until aromatic (a couple of minutes). During this time, stir the spices constantly so that they do not have a chance to catch and burn.

Turn into a bowl and allow to cool. When they have cooled, remove the seeds from the cardamom pods and discard the pods. Place the toasted ingredients in a spice or coffee grinder and render to a fine powder. Mix in the chilli powder and zedoary root then store in an air-tight jar.

This spice blend will keep for up to a month in a cool, dark, place, but is best used immediately.
