Garam masala

I got this recipe from the book 'Spice Market' by Jane Lawson.

The recipe is as follows

Seeds from 10 green cardamon pods

1 cinnamon stick

2 tablespoons cumin seeds

2 teaspoons cloves

1 teaspoon black peppercorns

1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Dry fry the spices for 1-2 minutes.  Set aside and cool.

Put in spice grinder with the nutmeg and blend until finely ground.  I sieved it as to remove the coarse bits.
