INSTRUCTIONS
Toast the cardamon, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, peppercorns, and fenugreek seeds in a hot skillet, shaking constantly, for a couple of minutes, until they start to toast and gain aroma. Grind to a fine powder. Combine the onion, garlic, and ½ cup of the water in a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. Add the roasted spice powder, chilies, cayenne, paprika, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, and cloves, and continue to blend. Slowly add the remaining ½ cup water, wine, and oil, and blend until smooth. Serve sparingly as a condiment with grilled beef and poultry or add to soups and stews. Will keep for a couple of months, refrigerated.
