Default Balti Garam Masala

Makes 75ml (5tbsp)

15ml (1tbsp) cumin seeds
15ml (1tbap) cardamom pods
5ml (1tsp) cloves
15ml black peppercorns
5cm (2") stick cinnamon broken in half
2 star anise
4 bay leaves
5ml dried mint leaves

Gently roast all the spices taking care not to burn them. Cool
Grind all the spices to a fine powder and store in an air-tight screw-top jar.

I have another one which is ready ground but this is heaps nicer. I also have good basic Chicken Balti and Balti sauce if anyone wants them.
