Garam Masala II

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, combine ground cloves, ground cumin, curry powder, and freshly grated nutmeg, mixing thoroughly to create your garam masala spice blend.

Prepare your cracker base by rolling out dough or arranging store-bought crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Lightly brush the cracker surface with oil or butter to help the spice blend adhere evenly.

Sprinkle the garam masala spice blend generously and evenly over the oiled cracker surface, pressing gently so the spices adhere.

Bake the crackers in the preheated oven until golden, crisp, and aromatic, checking frequently to prevent burning.

Remove the crackers from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet, which will help them firm up and develop a satisfying crunch.

Transfer cooled crackers to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to one week.
