🍽️ Instructions
Toast Whole Raw Ingredients
- In a dry pan, add your ingredients with exception to grated nutmeg and salt.
- Toast spices until fragrant on medium heat, move occasionally while avoiding smoke from appearing.
- Oils release from the seed and cause a bitter taste when heated too hot, too fast.
- Once fragrant, add to your mortar or spice grinder.
Ground and Pound
- Use your pestle to take out your stress on the toasted seeds and pound it to a fine dust.
- If you have a grinder dedicated to spices, blend it to a fine powder.
- Once blended, pour spices through a fine mesh strainer to collect any large pieces of seed husk.
Combine Everything Else
- Add remaining ingredients to your toasted, ground spices.
- Salt is added to preserve spice powder.
