Three fourths tablespoon Black Mustard Seeds
2 tablespoon Ground Turmeric

overroast 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 preground turmeric and fenugreek; cap the jar and
skake until the spices are welll mixed.

NOTES : Vary the individual quantities of the spices as you wish to make
the blend to your own taste
