What spices are in a tandoori spice mix?

In supermarkets and specialist Asian food shops you are able to buy a Tandoori spice mix, which is often used to marinate meat, especially lamb. It gives a recognisable Indian taste, but is without too much heat so it can be enjoyed by all.

The spices included in a Tandoori mix will differ depending on the brand you use, but generally the following spices will be present:

Cayenne pepper
Cumin
Coriander
Ground ginger
Paprika
Tumeric
