3/3
Garam Masala done!
The cinnamon and cardamom get pounded a bit before going into the spice grinder (old "coffee" grinder that gets used for spices only - have had this maybe almost 25 yrs) and ground up more before the other spices get put in. Nutmeg gets grated in with a microplane at the end.
Spice list and amounts 馃憞馃徑
I vary a bit each time (though long pepper is now constant). This time had 1陆 tsp = 2g of fennel seeds and no mushrooms. Once I added 2 coffee beans.
