1 tbsp allspice berries
4 tsp black peppercorns
2 tsp ginger powder
2 tsp ajwain seeds
1 tsp whole cloves
1 whole nutmeg
2 x 3 inch cinnamon sticks
8-10 green cardamom pods

tbsp = tablespoon
tsp = teaspoon

  • Break up the cinnamon stick and grate a teaspoons worth of nutmeg

  • Grind the cinnamon pieces along with the cardamom pods, cumin, coriander and ajwain seeds, peppercorns, cloves and allspice berries

  • Once ground, add to a bowl

Note: Apologies for the lack of newsletters recently. I've just finished proof reading my Kindle spice mix book! A lot harder task than I thought. Anyway, it is done and uploaded to Amazon, and once I finish doing the description it'll be live THIS WEEK. I'll send a newsletter once it is all done.

How to Toast and Grind

Dry toasting and grinding spices is the key to getting the most flavour out of your ingredients and into your home cooking...

Step 1: Add your whole spices to a dry pan over a low to medium heat and whilst stirring or shaking the pan, lightly toast them for a few minutes. When you can really smell the aromas and they start to darken, they're ready.

Step 2: Let them cool and then grind.

Step 3: For a finer blend, put them through a sieve before combining with any ground ingredients and herbs.
