- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 4 tablespoon coriander seeds
- 4 cloves
- 4 green cardamom pods
- 4 1-inch sticks cinnamon
- 4 dry bay leaves
- 1 tablespoon dagad phool (stone flower, optional)
- 20 peppercorns
- 2 tablespoon fennel
- 2 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoon cumin seeds
- 1 tablespoon mustard seeds
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds (use the white poppy seeds, if possible, but if you can't find these the black seeds are fine)
- ½ cup dry coconut (copra) (shredded or broken into small pieces. This is a kind of coconut that's been dried before use. It has a different flavor from fresh coconut.)
Heat the oil in a small skillet. Roast the masala ingredients until lightly brown and fragrant. Fry the sesame seeds, poppy seeds and coconut last and keep a close eye on it because it can burn in an instant.
Cool, powder in a spice grinder, and store in the refrigerator.
