Start by using a spice grinder, if you can, which is the best tool for the job. Lots of smoothie-makers also come with a milling blade that works well to really crush down these whole spices.

Put the cardamom pods in the grinder, husk and all. Blend to a fine powder, then pour out into a large bowl.

Grind the bay leaves together with the fennel seeds. Grind the cumin seeds, then combine these powders in the bowl.

Add to the bowl. Mix thoroughly, being sure to do this after each addition as it’s important to make sure that the mix is well blended.
