I love making my own spice mixes and this is no exception. Love the pic, beautiful. I can almost smell it. (I have been drying and grinding some excess curry leaves and my whole house is perfumed with them.)

6 grams (about ¼ oz.) each of black cardamoms(crack opened and discard the shells) and cloves
