    1. cinnamon stick

    2. cardamom pods

    3. bay leaf

    Marinade for chicken + the tikka “gravy”

    1. ginger

    2. garlic

    3. chili powder

    4. fenugreek

    5. coriander seed powder

    6. cumin powder

    7. turmeric

    8. garam masala

      True, but it’s still only 15 spices in total because half of those are usually part of garam masala. Mine for example has: coriander, cumin, cinnamon, ginger, pepper, fennel, cloves, anise, nutmeg cardamom.
