Directions
If using whole spices, toast them slowly in a saute pan first on low to medium heat. Once the oils start to release and you smell the aroma, it's ready. Let them cool completely before the next step.
Use a mortar & pestle to make powder of the dry spices or use a spice grinder.
Combine all liquids then grate ginger to get juice and add that to the mix.
Combine everything and marinate your favorite piece of vegetable or protein.
