  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   3      ounces        coriander seeds
   1      ounce         cumin seeds
     1/4  ounce         fenugreek seeds
   1      ounce         cloves
   2      ounces        cardamom seeds -- (brown best)
     1/4  teaspoon      mace
     1/4  teaspoon      nutmeg
   1      ounce         cinnamon
   1      ounce         black pepper

Preparation:

Roast coriander seeds, cumin, and fenugreek seeds separately for a few minutes until their rich aroma is given off. Combine with all other ingredients and grind. Pass the mixture through a sieve and store in an airtight jar. NOTE: Roasting the ingredients separately is important since each gives off its characteristic aroma at a different time.
