Yield: about 1 cup
Toast the fennel seeds, coriander, and peppercorns in a small heavy skillet over medium heat. When the fennel turns light brown, stir quickly. Turn on the range hood, add the red pepper flakes, and stir, stir, and stir under the range hood. Immediately transfer the spice mixture to a plate and let it cool. - Place in a blender along with the chili powder, salt, and cinnamon and blend. If you have a small spice grinder or coffee grinder, grind only the fennel, coriander, peppercorns, and chili flakes, then transfer to a bowl and mix with the remaining ingredients.
