It was decided to make a mixture of spices. This is my first attempt. A recipe was found on the internet called Garam Masala, which is of Indian origin. The spices used were nutmeg, cardamom, peppercorns, cloves, coriander, cumin, cinnamon. The spices were purchased from a supermarket and one tablespoon of each was mixed in a coffee grinder. The resulting powder was used to flavour a bowl of chickpea/lentil soup mixed with various beans. A heaping teaspoon was utilized. Spices are quite expensive but a little goes a long way.
