garam masala recipe

1 T cardamom pods
5 cm cinnamon stick
1 t black (or regular) cumin - I've never seen black cumin (kala jeera) in Chile.
1 t cloves
1 t black peppercorns
1/4 nutmeg

Blend in coffee grinder, if you have one.

In Chile, I buy my spices from these little stores that sell spices, nuts, grains, dog food in bulk. I used to by them in Viña del Mar just off the calle Valparaíso. I still buy them in Viña on San Antonio between 13 norte and 14 norte. I've just started buying spices, baking powder, and nuts near the vega. But these kinds of stores are quite prolific. There may be one in your neighborhood if you live in Viña or Santiago.
