Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground fenugreek
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne

Directions

  • Put the spices, salt, and sugar in a small bowl.
  • Stir until well blended, pressing out any clumps with the back of a spoon.
  • Pour into a zip-top bag, vacuum-seal bag, jar, or spice bottle with a tight lid.
  • Label it and keep in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct light. Optional: shake it in a jar to spread the stronger spices evenly.
