Easy, fragrant, better tasting than any store bought version.

I add in 1.5 tsp chilli powder and 1.5 tsp of turmeric powder. Toast all the ingredients together before grinding. It seems to give it better colour and depth of flavour.

I have found this to be true of other spice-blend recipes by Mark Bittman.

Way too much clove.

I wanted something a bit more complex, so I added turmeric, black peppercorn, bay leaf, garlic powder, red chilies, yellow mustard, and fenugreek. I guess it depends on what you're making, but I wanted a bit more depth from earthy flavors.
