Kashmiri garam masala!!

For me the addition of a good homemade garam masala has a lot of contribution  in the making of a tasty or mouthwatering recipes.
It gives a punch to the flavours and all the ingredients in  it have tremendous health benefits .

• Choti eliachi(green cardamom) - 15gm
• Javitri(Mace) -5gm
• Jeera(Cumin seeds) -125gm
• Jaifal(Nutmeg) - 5

Keep all the ingredients under the sun (so that if there is any moisture left it will evaporate ) for about an hr.

Once they are dried mix all the ingredients in a mixer and grin them well till it changes into a soft powder and its done.

Store the powder in an air tight container so that its fragrance is maintained.
