Homemade Toasted Garam Masala

A warm, aromatic North Indian spice blend made from whole spices: coriander, cumin, green cardamom, black peppercorns, cloves, cinnamon, fennel, star anise and bay leaf, toasted in a dry skillet until fragrant, cooled and ground with a little nutmeg. Ten minutes for a jar far more vibrant than store-bought, ready for curries, dals, roasted vegetables and marinades.
