1. In a small cast-iron or nonstick skillet, roast separately the cumin seeds, the peppercorns, and the red pepper flakes, over medium heat, stirring and shaking the pan until fragrant and a few shaded darker, about 2 minutes each for the cumin and the peppercorns, and just a few seconds for the red pepper flakes
2. Mix together the roasted cumin, peppercorns and red pepper flakes. Let cool, then put in your pepper mill. Grind and use as necessary. Or, grind coarsely in a spice or coffee grinder, store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place, about 1 month at room temperature or about 1 year in the refrigerator.
