Spices mixes are best kept fresh and whole, but ready to use.
So a trick on achieving just that is to put the prepared whole spices that will be toasted
in an air-tight container in the freezer.
Then mark on the side of the container the remaining ingredients to add to the grinder
after toasting.
So when you want to use a spice mix, take a couple scoops of the mixed whole spices
and toast in a skillet.
While toasting, add the remaining ingredients to the spice grinder
Spices are done when fragrant. Do not let them start smoking!
Add the toasted spices to your grinder or mortar and pestle, and you have a fresh and
delicious spice mix.
