<p>This recipe is extra special to me because it’s my grandma’s recipe, and it always reminds me of her. Whenever she made fresh injera, she would sprinkle this spiced salt over it, and the taste was incredible. Now, I’m sharing this recipe with you so you can experience the same delicious flavor and warmth that reminds me of her.</p>

<div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Ingredients:</h4>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>2 tsp fenugreek flour</strong></li>



<li><strong>1 tsp garlic powder</strong></li>



<li><strong>1/4 tsp ginger powder</strong></li>



<li><strong>1/4 tsp ajwain seeds</strong></li>



<li><strong>Chili powder, as needed (or use mitmita for a spicier twist)</strong></li>



<li><strong>1/4 tsp black cardamom</strong></li>



<li><strong>1/2 cup sea salt</strong></li>
</ul>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Directions:</h4>



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Toast the ingredients</strong>: Toast the powdered spices and ajwain seeds separately over medium-low heat. Stir continuously to ensure even toasting until the spices become warm and aromatic (about 2-3 minutes).</li>



<li><strong>Let cool</strong>: Remove from heat and let the ingredients cool completely.</li>



<li><strong>Grind</strong>: Once cooled, grind all the ingredients together using a spice grinder until they form a fine, even mixture.</li>



<li><strong>Store</strong>: Keep your spiced salt in the fridge to preserve the flavor. It may lose its potency if stored on the shelf for too long. You can also double or triple the recipe and store it in the freezer for future use.</li>
</ol>
