Start by measuring out all the ingredients to ensure you have everything ready.

In a dry skillet or small frying pan, heat the coriander seeds, cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, black peppercorns, mustard seeds, cinnamon stick, cloves, and cardamom pods over medium-low heat. Stir frequently for 2-3 minutes or until the spices become fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground spices with turmeric powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and dried curry leaves (if using). Mix thoroughly until the blend is uniform in color and texture.
