Coriander-Cumin-Fennel-Fenugreek Spice Blend

A simple spice blend I concocted one day, intended for use in Indian cooking.

Ingredient Amount
whole coriander seeds 1 tsp.
whole cumin seeds 1 tsp.
whole fennel seeds ½ tsp.
whole fenugreek seeds 1 tsp.

Toast (dry-roast) the seeds over medium heat until the aroma becomes stronger and some seeds change colour. Immediately transfer to a plate and allow to cool completely to room temperature. Incomplete cooling will result in a "cakey" mixture once ground.

Grind the toasted, cooled seeds to a fine powder in a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. Store in an airtight container.

Produces probably no more than a tablespoon of ground spice blend.
