From the Test KitchenHomemade Garam Masala:
- In a medium skillet, combine 1 tablespoon cardamom seeds, 1 tablespoon cumin seeds, 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns, 12 whole cloves, and a 3-inch-long piece stick cinnamon; cook over medium-low heat for 3 to 4 minutes or until aromatic, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Cool.
- Place cinnamon in a resealable plastic bag; seal bag. Using a rolling pin or mallet, crush cinnamon. In a spice grinder or blender, combine all of the spices. Cover and grind or blend to a fine powder. Store spice blend in an airtight storage container in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months. Makes about 1/4 cup.
