Dry roast all the ingredients together in the pan, on lower to medium flame till you get a nice aroma. Don't burn them.
Cool the spices to room temperature.
Ground them coarse in the grinder. Don't make a fine powder. If you can, grind them in pestle and morsel. That is the trick to this pice mix that it is not supposed to be fine.
Store in an air tight jar. Good for 2-3 months.
