1
Roasting the Spices
In a dry skillet over medium heat, add cumin seeds, coriander seeds, and mustard seeds. Roast them for about 2-3 minutes until they become fragrant, stirring occasionally.
2
Grinding the Spices
Once roasted, let the spices cool for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. Grind everything to a fine powder.

Mixing the Spices
In a bowl, combine the ground spices with turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, and dried fenugreek leaves. Mix well.
4
Storing the Masala
Transfer the spice mix to an airtight container and store it in a cool, dry place. The masala can be used in various dishes for added flavor.
