I like my spices pre-prepared for me by Sharwoods
roasting cumin seeds and cardamom pods and cloves is a little out of my comfort zone at this point - I'll stick with the ground stuff for now. I used cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, curry powder and marjoram, and I think it needed a bit more of the curry powder.

You just bung them in a dry frying pan
and toast 'em. Then grind them up. It's a piece of piss and takes about a minute, and the results are markedly better, honestly.

I'll get a mortar and pestle at some point
but for now I've got the ground stuff to use up.

I don't want to try and run before I can walk
and frankly if there's too much washing up I'll probably not bother.
