Ingredients
1/2 cup almonds
3 tablespoons raw sesame seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add the almonds and toast them for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are fragrant and begin to darken slightly. Transfer to a plate and let cool.
Return the skillet to medium heat. Add the sesame seeds and toast for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until they become golden and fragrant. Be careful not to burn them. Transfer to the plate with the almonds.
Once the almonds and sesame seeds have cooled, place them in a food processor. Pulse until coarsely ground—the mixture should have a sandy, crumbly texture with some small chunks remaining.
Transfer the ground almond and sesame mixture to a small bowl. Stir in the ground coriander, ground cumin, ground cinnamon, and turmeric until evenly combined.
Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to your taste. Mix well and adjust seasonings as desired. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
