About


Note: most versions of this recipe call for 3 tsp. ground fennel as well, but I like the taste better without it.
I found many spice blends like this online, and they are a part of classic Ayurvedic cooking.  This is a mix of ground spices that is absolutely delicious for cooking.  The only thing it doesn't taste so great with is potatoes.
