1
Roasting Whole Spices
In a dry skillet over medium heat, add the cumin seeds, black peppercorns, coriander seeds, dried red chilies, mustard seeds, and fenugreek seeds.
2
Monitor and Stir
Stir the spices frequently to ensure they roast evenly and do not burn. Roast for about 5-7 minutes until fragrant.
3
Cooling the Spices
Once roasted, remove the skillet from the heat and allow the spices to cool completely.

4
Grinding the Spices
Transfer the cooled roasted spices to a spice grinder or blender. Add turmeric powder and salt to taste.
5
Blend to a Powder
Blend until you achieve a fine powder consistency.
6
Storing the Masala
Store the masala jeera powder in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Use within 1-2 months for the best flavor.
