if you haven't read my other posts i would do so know!
today i thought why not do a bit of cookery, so i did a quick 5 minute spice mix that you can sprinkle into anything, after it's cooked or while it's cooking, it gives it more flavor and it makes that final touch to curry's, roasts, meats, soups, any meal at all!
the recipe is below, tested already.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
what you need:
a pestle mortar, (----------------------------------------->)
or a coffee grinder, best if you do buy a pestle mortar they are only about $15 and are very handy for future needs. you also need a saucepan. (best if small)Ingredients:
1 tbsp cumin seeds
1 tbsp coriander seeds
1/2 tbsp black mustard seeds (1 tbsp, depending if your into spicy food or not)
1/2 tbsp cardamon seeds
1/2 tbsp fennel seeds
Method/ instructions:
Combine all the spices into the saucepan on high heat, shaking the pan in a clockwise direction every 10 seconds, the roasting should take up to 1 minute. take of the stove when you hear a single "poop!" monitor the pan at all times, DO NOT leave your eyes from it.
Then pour into your pestle mortar or coffee grinder and grind together pressing them into the sides until finely grind, leave to cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a jar, pot, e.t.c. keep out of direct sunlight, best used within 2 weeks.
hope you enjoy adding some spice to meats, roasts, curry, soups and more! can be added after or during cooking, leave in the comments any ideas to add to that.
