Goan Meat Masala

By Ana P

Make a batch to have on hand for making many Goan recipes quickly. It can last in the fridge for months.

Servings: 1 tsp measures

Prep Time: 15

To air dry the spices: 12

Ingredients

2 oz cinnamon sticks
1 oz cloves
5.5 tbsp cumin seeds
5 tbsp turmeric powder
1/2 oz pepper optional or use less

Instructions

To maximize freshness, start with fresh whole spices bought in small quantities. Use whole spices for all the ingredients except turmeric.
Air dry the spices. For reference, my toaster oven's Airdry feature defaults to 125F for 12 hours.
Once the spices are dried, grind each one separately in a coffee grinder.
Mix the spices in the following proportions:
7.5 tbsp cinnamon powder
5 tbsp turmeric powder
4.5 tbsp cumin powder
2 tbsp clove power
Bottle the spices in an airtight glass container and store in the fridge to extend freshness.
Bag any left over spices separately and reserve for another use.
