Tip: Creating your own spice mixes is incredibly fun and addictive. Always use whole spices where possible, as this will give your recipes such rich flavor. For this mix, use equal parts of brown mustard seed, fenugreek, cumin seeds, fennel seeds and paprika. Mix together and store in a small airtight container. Grind in a dedicated coffee or spice grinder right before use for maximum freshness.
