Servings: 1 small jar
Calories: 39kcal
Ingredients
- 1 ½ teaspoons coriander seeds
- ¾ teaspoon cumin seeds
- ½ teaspoon crushed chilli flakes
- 1 ¼ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
Instructions
- Toast the whole spices separately in a small pan over a medium-high heat. Watch the pan closely and remove from heat as the spices change colour and release their aromas.
- Tip the spices into a spice or coffee grinder and grind to a powder. Add the ground spices and give the grinder an extra whiz to combine the spices. You can store the Ras el Hanout in a sealed jar for up to six months. If the spice mix has been on the shelf for a couple of months you can ‘awaken’ the mix in a small pan over a medium heat until the mix releases its aroma.
