Method

Dry roast all ingredients one by one and allow to cool. (Don't have to roast powder like ginger, nutmeg etc if using in powder form.  You can roast all ingredients together too but I never do that.)
Cool all the ingredients and grind into smooth powder using mixer or coffee/spice grinder.  
Sieve powder through a big strainer, grind again if required and discard any large pieces of spice. Cool powder masala to room temperature and store in air tight container.
