Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp. Cumin seed ground
• 2 Tbsp. Coriander seed ground
• 2 Tbsp. Tumeric ground
• 1 Tbsp. Nutmeg ground

Directions

Mix all ingredients together well in a medium sized bowl. Store in a sealed container.

You can save a lot of money by purchasing your spices in bulk from a local Indian (or ethnic food) grocer. They will have ground turmeric, and cumin and coriander seed for a small fraction of the cost of the local grocery store. An electric coffee grinder (well cleaned out, both before and after!) is ideal for grinding up a container of fresh spice from seed every few months.
