Ayurvedic Spice Mix
Ingredients
3 parts fennel seeds
1 part ground turmeric
1 part ground cumin
1 part dried ginger
1 part black pepper
1 part cardamom seeds
1 part salt
1 part jaggery
1 part fenugreek
1 part dried mango powder
(all powdered)
Quantities
For each batch I use 3 tsp (15ml) fennel seeds and 1 tsp (5ml) of all the other spices.
The Daily Grind!
Some spices are better freshly ground, this time I used fennel seeds, cardamon pods and coarse ground black pepper and ground them myself in a pestle and mortar.
My mum’s unused wedding present
Found this old grinder in my Mum’s loft, sparks a bit and fused the house briefly, but was handy when my arms got tired!
Although cardamom is available ready powdered there is nothing like the aroma of the freshly ground seeds, especially when someone else is doing the work! First you need to remove the shells and peel enough so you have 1 tsp of the seeds.
Shell the cardamom seeds
Grind the seeds
Add the pepper and fennel for grinding
Add Salt & Sugar
The last spice I added was mango powder (amchor powder). This is the sour taste, which is good for anyone with too much air in their constitution.
Add mango powder
To keep my blog free of annoying adverts and exclusively full of quality content, I’ve written a fantastic vegan recipe book which I hope to entice you to purchase.
