Garam masala my MIL's way

Hi,
  I always bought ready made masala from store before but it had its distinct taste to it which altered the outcome of the food.When my MIL came to stay us for sometime she made really tasty spicy food but it never had that distinct flavor ,i wondered how could she do it.Later she told  me she never used the store made garam masala as she made her own.Its been years since it happened and after that i never went to store for garam masala.



Ingredients:
      Dhaniyalu/Coriander seeds=2 oz/60 grams
      cinnamon                          =4 inch/ 2 times your index finger
      cloves                               =1 spoon
      gasalu/poppy seeds           =1 oz/30 grams

preparation:
      dry roast them separately.
      careful not to burn them,it should be done within 5 min
      let it cool off completely,then grind them to fine powder in mixer.
      mixer should be dry,don't add any water to it
      once it is done ,store it in airtight container/Ziploc in your freezer compartment
            If you made this exact quantities ,it will last you for at least 3 months.So do this & be worry free for next 3 months & also enjoy the food without distinct flavor
