Instructions: Toast the spices in a dry skillet over medium heat until they release their aromas, about 3 minutes, taking care not to burn them. Transfer to a food processor and add the turmeric and remaining ingredients and process into a paste, adding water as needed. This paste will keep for about a week in the refrigerator.

Yield: 1_1/2-2 cups.
