La Kama

La kama is an easy to make peppery blend of spices that will add fabulous Moroccan flavours and aromas to your home cooking.

Ingredients: (makes about 5 tbsp)

3 tbsp black peppercorns
4 tsp cumin seeds
4 tsp ginger powder
1 tbsp turmeric
1 tsp grated nutmeg

tbsp = tablespoon
tsp = teaspoon

Directions:

  • Grind the peppercorns and cumin

  • Sieve into a bowl

  • Stir in the grated nutmeg, turmeric and ginger powders

That's it!

Store in an airtight container out of direct sunlight. Use within 3 months.

Note: If you have the time, I recommend dry toasting the cumin and peppercorns before grinding. This really enhances their flavour!

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.
