2 tbsp: Black cumin seeds,

1/2 tsp: Mixed spice,
Pumpkin spice or cinnamon,
Directions:
Toast cumin, mustard, and fenugreek seeds separately by placing a thin
layer of each spice in a small dry frying pan over medium high heat,
stirring so that it is even, until they darken, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Grind seeds to a powder in grinder or with mortar and pestle, grinding
cloves with the seeds. Stir in spice or cinnamon. Store in airtight

Masala is a blend of spices and herbs used primarily in Indian,
caribbean, malaysian cooking. In the US, we can get curry powder,
which is just another form of masala (Ive learned this in the 3
years Ive been here in South Africa). You can mix your own or
purchase from a spice shop that carries Indian or Malay spices. I
rarely use prepackaged curry powder, but it will work in the recipe.
Ive included a couple of Masala recipes here. (If you can find
someone selling DURBAN SPICES, youve found the best Masala mixtures.)
