This is the recipe for the traditional Massalé (spice blend) used in Seychellois (from the Seychelles) cooking.

Ingredients:

2 tbsp coriander seeds
2 tsp cumin seeds
2 tsp black peppercorns
6 cardamom pods (seeds only)
½ tsp cloves
1 whole cinnamon stick (or 1 tsp ground cinnamon)
1 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp freshly-grated nutmeg

Method:

Dry roast the coriander, cumin, peppercorns, cardamom, cloves and cinnamon in a small pan over a medium-high heat for 30 seconds until aromatic, being careful not to let them burn.

Turn out onto a plate to cool, then grind in a spice grinder or pulverise using a pestle and mortar. Add the chilli powder and nutmeg and pulse to combine. Transfer to an airtight jar and keep for future use (this will make more than you need in this recipe).
