DIY: Amchar Masala

Amchar Masala is frequently used in creating Caribbean cuisine, but I have a hard time finding the spice blend in Baltimore City. Thankfully, it's made up of spices that are easily found in the Indian
market near my home. I can make it myself, and it's super easy!

Amchar Masala

4 Tbs Coriander Seeds
1 Tbs Cumin Seeds
2 Tbs Black Peppercorns
1 Tbs Fennel Seeds
1 tsp Fenugreek seed

Add the spices to a saucepan, and stir over medium heat until the spices are roasted. They should darken just slightly.

Let cool, completely.

Grind spices to the desired consistency in a mortar & pestle or clean coffee grinder.

Store in an airtight container.

Makes about 8 Tbs.
