½ cup cardamom pods (mine were whole and I cracked them with a sharp knife, but you can use powder or pre-shelled, but then you would want to reduce this amount to about half)
½ cup dried ginger pieces (or omit if using fresh) 干姜或新鲜姜（新鲜姜就不用混在这里了）
¼ cup whole cloves
You could also add a small amount of nutmeg or star anise, if desired. Those ingredients aren't as commonly used, at least, not in the parts of Indian we've been in, but they are used sometimes and would taste delicious as well.
