Directions:
It is best to grind all your spices fresh, but do not despair if you can not. If you do use wholes spices, proceed with step 1 before grinding.
1. Preheat the oven to 200. Spread the ingredients in a shallow layer in a large roasting pan. Roast them for 15-20 minutes, stirring and turning the mixture several times with a large spoon. Do not let the spices brown or burn.
2. If you wish, you can grind the spices finer after heating. You can store the garam masala at room temperature for up to six months.
