You will need the following WHOLE spices – use the same Regular household Tbsp measure for all spices. Not too heaped, but a good Tbsp! Break the cinnamon and star anise up into small pieces first, to be able to measure properly.
Ingredients:
| Fennel Seeds (Saunf /Â Perumjeerakam) | 13 Tbsp | |
| Star Anise (Chakra Phool / Thakkolam) | 2 Tbsp | |
| Cloves ( Laung /Â Grampoo ) | 2 Tbsp | |
| Cinnamon sticks (Dalcini /Â Karugapatta) | 2 Tbsp | |
| Black Peppercorns (Kali Mirch /Â Kurumulaku) | 1 Tbsp | |
| Geen Cardamom pods(Hara Elaichi / Elakka) | 1 Tbsp |
Intro Page has images showing the amount of WHOLE spices used (roughly)- to get a clearer idea.
Method:
- Add all the whole spices to a dry wok and on medium heat roast these spices, stirring continuously for 5 minutes.
- Time it. You will get an evenly golden spice mixture that is really aromatic.
- Add the roasted spices to a metal grinder and grind to a fine powder. Allow to cool completely and store in airtight containers. This keeps well for months! I use this in Beef curry and Biriyani and Roasted Chicken as well to name a few.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful combination of spices. We tried this time and found very useful with the spices we bought from Kerala through http://www.trupery.com was totally fresh and authentic.
Measuring whole spices in ‘tablespoons’ is hardly accurate, whether or not the same tablespoon is used for all the spices. Star anise, for one, cinnamon sticks also (they vary in size very much.). The image gives some indication, but two different cooks will come up with two different mixtures
