Ayurvedic digestive spice mix known as CCF (coriander-cumin-fennel). You can spice your ice cream with this spice mix, use it for soups, stews, and other hot dishes, sprinkle on the salads, add to teas.
Dry roast fennel and cumin seeds together, and coriander seeds in a separate small skillet until fragrant and a few shades darker.
Cool down. Grind using a coffee grinder**
Store at room temperature in a dark place. Use as needed.
RAW METHOD****
Mix all ingredients in the bowl, transfer the mixture into the electric grinder or spice mill and grind to a fine powder.
Store in an airtight jar in a dark place***.
Notes
*Add to the dish towards the end of the cooking process. Because this spice mix is already "precooked," it can be used for sprinkling on the top of the dish.
**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.
****Raw spice mix is usually added at the beginning of cooking.
