Toast off your spices to activate them then blitz them in a spice grinder. These can be bout for about $15 from Kmart etc. if you don't mind some heat leave the chilli defs in but if not just rub the chilli before you blitz them and tap out the seeds.
Add your spices to a blender with the other ingredients and blitz to a nice fine paste, a few spoon fills of oil might be needed to assist in the blending.
If you have a mortar and pestle use that
