Garam Masala Powder – 500g

Garam masala is a fragrant and aromatic spice blend commonly used in Indian, Pakistani, and other South Asian cuisines. The name “garam” refers to warmth, not heat, as the blend is designed to add complex, warming flavors rather than intense spiciness. While the specific ingredients can vary by region and family, a typical garam masala includes cumin, coriander seeds, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, and black peppercorns, with some variations incorporating bay leaves, dried ginger, fennel seeds, or star anise. The blend is often added at the end of cooking to preserve its potent aroma and flavor, and it enhances dishes such as curries, stews, lentils, biryanis, and roasted vegetables. While pre-made garam masala is readily available, many people prefer making it at home to ensure its freshness and tailor it to their taste preferences.
