1. In a medium cast-iron or nonstick skillet, roast together the coriander, cumin, black cumin, peppercorns, fenugreek, and chili peppers, stirring and shaking the pan over medium heat until heated through, about 2 minutes. Mix in the curry leaves, poppy seeds, mustard seeds, anise, and bay leaves and roast another minute. Remove from heat.
2. Let cool, then grind in a spice or coffee grinder to make a fine powder. Mix in the cinnamon, cloves, black and green cardamom seeds, nutmeg, and mace. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place, about 1 month at room temperature or about 1 year in the refrigerator.
