Step-by-step Guide
Preparation
- If we prepare the mixture with whole spices, it will always have a more intense and deep aroma.
- The spices from the first group can be heated whole for 5 minutes in a skillet without oil over medium heat, stirring continuously to enhance the aromas.
- Once the spices are toasted, grind them into a fine powder with a grinder (a coffee grinder can be used) or with a mortar and pestle. Then, sift them and, once cooled, mix them with the spices from the second group.
- Once all the spices are well mixed, they can be stored in an airtight jar, ready to be used when necessary.
Recommendations & Tricks
- These spices can be used whole: grind them yourself and then sieve.
