This is the traditional blend of spices characterizing the flavor of Moghul and North Indian dishes, including Tandoori food.
Put in a heavy plastic bag and smash with a rolling pin until lightly crushed:
1/2 cup green cardamom pods or black cardamom pods
Break open the pods and pull out the tiny seeds. Discard the pods and combine the seeds with:
1/3 cup whole cloves
Scant 1/4 cup cumin seeds
Scant 1/4 cup black peppercorns
5 hefty 3-inch-long cinnamon sticks (each about 1/3 inch thick)
Grind the mixture to a powder in batches in a spice mill or electric coffee grinder. Store in an airtight container in a cool place.
