  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   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
