Garam Masala Please

This is my favourite Garam Masala recipe that I've developed over the years, inspired by the very polite waiters in many Indian Restaurants that I've frequented that have almost all approached the table with the words "Garam Masala Please"

Instructions

Put a small frying pan on a medium heat
Lightly toast all the ingredients by putting the biggest ingredients in the pan with 30 second intervals inbetween each, don't let them burn, just a light toasting is required
Let the spices cool and then put into a grinder and grind until a fine powder is achieved
Place in an air-tight container and use when required, it will last for at least a year but is best when used as soon as possible
