Garam Masala

Description

Garam Masala, which translates to “hot spice,” is a basic mixture of warming, fragrant, and ground spices that is widely used in Northern Indian cookery. Although the exact mixture varies by area, it usually consists of cloves, cumin, cardamom, mace, cinnamon, and peppercorns, which are frequently roasted before grinding. Instead of adding heat to a meal, it is typically added near the end of the cooking process or as a final garnish to enhance its powerful taste and fragrant aroma.
