Instructions
From ground spices
Combine all the spices in a small spice jar. Give it a good mix. Pro tip - I like to close the jar and give it a good shake! Or use a mini whisk.
2 tbsp Coriander powder, 1 tbsp Cumin powder, 1 tbsp Turmeric powder, 1 tbsp Cayenne, 1 tbsp Smoked sweet paprika, ½ tsp Mustard powder, ½ tsp Fenugreek powder, ½ tsp Ground ginger, ½ tsp Pepper powder, ½ tsp Cinnamon powder, ½ tsp Cardamom powder, ½ tsp Clove powder
From whole spices
Add the whole paprika to a frying pan and toast them over med-low heat for a minute. Pro tip - spices burn easily so make sure the heat is low and shake the pan often.
2 large Dry whole paprika , 3 large Dry smoked paprika
Then, add all the spices (not the turmeric powder) and toast them for a minute more until fragrant. Take it off the heat and let it cool until it is barely warm. Pro tip - You will start to get the beautiful aroma of spices.
Place all the whole and powdered spices in a spice grinder blender and blend until smooth. Pulse it a few times until finely ground.
1 tbsp Turmeric powder, 1 tsp Ground ginger
