Name: Warm Finishing Sattvic Spice Mix
Prep time: 10 min
Total time: 10 min
Ingredients: 1 tbsp cardamom pods; 1-2 tsp black peppercorns; 1 tsp paprika; 1/3 tsp nutmeg; 1 tbsp cinnamon; 1 tsp cloves (whole)

This wonderful blend of aromatic spices is perfect for an array of dishes. This finishing sattvic spice mix adds sweetness, warmth, floral notes, and a touch of heat from black pepper. Most often, I add this spice towards the end of the cooking process, so it does not just season the dish but enhances it with a fragrant aroma. Sometimes I sprinkle a little bit of it on the top of the dish right before serving.

A combination of cloves, cinnamon, and paprika add a chocolaty-cherry taste that I love. Often I enjoy this spice mix with my buckwheat tea. Just a little pinch of the fragrant spices adds a welcoming dimension to a hot drink.

In this recipe, I break the nutmeg into small pieces just to show this method. But personally, I prefer the shredding method. In my opinion, it roasts more evenly. If shredded, add it at the very end of the roasting process for no more than 1 minute

Ingredients

1 tbsp cardamom pods
1-2 tsp black peppercorns
1 tsp paprika
1/3 tsp nutmeg
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tsp cloves (whole)

Instructions

Heat the fry pan on medium heat and add cardamom seeds, black peppercorns, cloves, and nutmeg. Dry roast the seeds constantly stirring until fragrant.
Transfer spices into a bowl immediately because even if you turn off the heat, they will continue cooking on a hot pan and might burn. While seeds are still hot, mix in cinnamon and paprika. Set aside to cool a bit.
Transfer seeds to a coffee grinder* and grind to a fine powder
Place in an airtight spice jar, and store in a cool, dry place*.

Notes

*I have a burr coffee grinder dedicated to spices only; if you have only one coffee grinder just be sure that it is clean and free of coffee particles.

**All spices are at their best when freshly made. It is better if consumed within a couple of months as it will lose its potency with time.
