Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup whole black peppercorns
  • ½ cup cumin seeds
  • ¼ cup coriander seeds
  • 2 tablespoon fennel seeds
  • 15 Green cardamoms
  • 4 Cloves
  • 2 cinnamon sticks (1-inch each)
  • ½ tablespoon dried ginger powder

Instructions
 

  • In a heavy-bottom or non-stick pan, add the black peppercorns and dry roast for 3-4 minutes on low to medium heat. Then transfer into a plate or bowl.
  • Similarly, one spice at a time, dry roast cumin seeds, coriander seeds, and fennel seeds. Transfer each spice to the plate with peppercorns.
  • Dry roast green cardamoms, cloves, and cinnamon sticks together until aromatic, and then transfer to the plate with the other spices.
  • Let these spices cool completely.
  • Transfer them into a grinder or spice grinder and add the dried ginger powder to this. Grind the spices into fine powder.
  • Store this Punjabi garam masala powder in an airtight container.
  • For longer storage, refrigerate the Punjabi Garam Masala Powder or freeze it.

Notes

  1. Spices: Always choose good-quality and fresh whole spices to make a homemade spice blend.
  2. Roasting: Make sure to dry roast the spices on medium-low heat, and do not let them burn. Do not dry roast all the spices together, and follow the recipe as mentioned. Some spices get roasted earlier than others, so we must roast them separately.
  3. Scaling: You can easily double the recipe for a big batch of Punjabi Garam Masala powder. This Masala stays for a more extended period if stored in the freezer.
