Toast the Coriander, Bay leaves, Cumin, Cardamoms, Cloves and Cinnamon
carefully in a heavy frying pan on top of the stove. Grind up finely
in a coffee grinder or blender and combine with the powdered
ingredients. Keeps well in a sealed jar. Omit the Chili and Pepper
for a blander and more fragrant Garam Masala for delicate dishes.
