Heat a medium sized heavy bottomed skillet or pot over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds, black peppercorns, anise seeds, cloves, and cardamom pods. Toast for 2 - 3 minutes, or until they are fragrant.

Step 2

Pulse the toasted seeds and bay leaves in a spice grinder a few times, or use a food processor and pulse a few times.

Step 3

Mix the seeds and the crushed bay leaves with the ground coriander, red pepper flakes, and ground ginger.
