Hand-Pound Garam Masala

Times we end up buying some groceries which may not be put to use much! In my case, some raw garam masala ingredients been lying around for a while now! 

Finally, to ensure it doesn't end in a dustbin, I decided to pound them all together and make home-made garam masala powder. And how did I achieve this?!? After real long time, I made use of the ammi kal, grandma's erstwhile mixer :) Wow, what an aroma while we grind and yes not to forget the exercise for your hands!!!

Ingredients:

Black pepper corns
