This spicy mixture is an essential part of many Indian courses. You can make it yourself by frying all these spices in a dry pan for a minute. This will make them more fragrant. Then just crush spices in a coffe-grinder and put garam masala in a clean jar for spices.

2 tbsp fennel
4 parts anisetree
3 inches cinnamon stick
2 tbsp black pepper peas
2 tbsp caraway seeds
2 tbsp coriander
1 tbsp cardamom
1 tbsp cloves

Coconut chutney

Chutney is Indian dressing, which is made from fruits or vegetables with spices and vinegar. It should be smooth and tender. Besides, I’ve heard it must draw for a couple of weeks to have richer taste, but it’s not obligatory to my mind.

1 cup dried coconut, grated
1 tsp urad dal
3 chilies
1 tsp yogurt
2 tbsp tamarind paste
1 tbsp oil
salt

1. Heat oil over medium heat. Fry coconut and urad dal until coconut is light golden.
2. Place in blender with spices and grind coarsely.
