Preheat the oven to 300°F. Line a baking pan with foil and place the
whole spices in separate heaps upon it (this is done so that you can
remove the smaller spices as they are ready). Place the pan on the
top shelf of the oven until the spices become aromatic and are
slightly browned. Do not over-roast them.
Place the roasted spices (in several batches) into the spice grinder,
a blender or a mortar; grind or pound to a fine powder. Accumulate
them in a storage jar. Add the pre-ground turmeric and fenugreek; cap
the jar and shake until the spices are well mixed.
