Did you know that you can make your own blend of spices? Sure, you can, by following a few simple rules. Properly combined, different spices will complement each other. For example, a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper will perk up a blend of sweet spices like cinnamon, allspice and vanilla. And then there are mildly aromatic spices like coriander and fennel that pull diverse tastes together–acting as mediators, of a sort, to create a harmonious marriage of flavors.
You can get wholesale spice from the store and create your own blend. You can do it for personal use in your kitchen or as a gift. For starters, you can start with the following simple recipe. Packed in cute bottles this will be a great gift idea for Christmas.Ingredients:2 teaspoons ground cinnamon1/2 teaspoon ground ginger1 teaspoon amchur powder (see note)1/2 teaspoon black pepper1/4 teaspoon ground chili 5 teaspoons ground sweet paprikaMethod:Combine all the ingredients and mix well. Allow the blend to mellow overnight before using. Rub on steaks or other meat 20-30 minutes before grilling. Amchur powder comes from the dried unripe fruit of the mango tree. It not only adds a pleasantly tangy note to the spice mix, but also serves as a meat tenderizer.
