From: HungryMonster.com
Serves: 1
 

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon cardamom seeds
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
2 1/2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1 1/4 teaspoons black peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon whole cloves
 

Preparation:

Add ingredients to a small dry skillet over low heat. Sliding the pan back and forth so that they don't burn, toast them until they smell fragrant, a few minutes. Let cool, then grind in a spice grinder until powdered. Remove to a bowl. Grind one 3-inch cinnamon stick as fine as you can, then sift it, through a fine strainer, into the bowl. Grate in 1/2 whole nutmeg or add 3/4 teaspoon ground to the bowl
