The roasting smell of these spices is intoxicating. I did not use black cardamom as I didnt have any. I also did not use nutmeg because of its intoxicant properties, instead I added a bit of allspice. I used this in Yakni Pilau (Chicken Rice) and it was good. I will find some other recipes to use this again.
