Punjabi Garam Masala Slow Cooker Recipe

Ingredients

Makes about 4 tablespoons

Total Time 10 minutes

• 2 tablespoons coriander seeds
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• ½ teaspoon whole cloves
• ½ teaspoon cardamom seeds (from green/white pods)
• 2 dried bay leaves
• 3 dried red chiles, or ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes
• 1 (2-inch) piece Indian cinnamon (cassia bark), or ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Method

1. In a clean coffee grinder or spice grinder, combine all the ingredients
2. Grind, shaking the grinder gently as you go so all the seeds and bits get into the blades, until the mixture has the consistency of a moderately fine powder
3. Unplug the grinder and turn it upside down
4. You want all the spice mixture to collect in the lid so you can easily scoop it out without cutting yourself playing about the blades
5. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to a month
6. Shake or stir before using
