2 tablespoon fenugreek seeds,
2 tablespoon fennel seeds,
1 tablespoon black peppercorns,
1 teaspoon green cardamom
Combine the ground spices with the already prepared mix of cinnamon, chillies, and nutmeg. Add in the ground ginger and turmeric. Give it a few pulses to ensure a uniform blend.

Spread the freshly ground spice blend in a plate for a few minutes to cool off any heat.
Transfer your freshly made bezar spice mix to an airtight container. Store it in a cool, dark place away from heat and moisture.
