What is garam masala?

Garam masala is an absolutely flavourful mix of spices that are added to gravies, side dishes, snacks etc. It adds flavours and heat to the dish it is added to. It is very simple to make. The best part about homemade masalas is that they can be made in small quantity and made fresh as and when required. When made at home, the best and fresh ingredients are used, thus ruling out any sort of adulteration.

Let’s talk about the ingredients

The list of ingredients is the beauty of this recipe. For this, we don’t need any fancy (as in not used very common) spices. Simple spices which are always available in our pantry are required. Coriander seeds, cumin seeds, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon are some spices that are required. At times I add more whole spices while making pulao than I have used for this garam masala (haha). This recipe gives a small batch. You can double or triple the recipe. Another garam masala recipe on the blog is this.

How To Make Garam Masala

1. Dry roast spices till aromatic : Add all the spices in a pan. And dry them on low flame till aromatic. You will see a slight change in color.

Tips: Dry roasting whole spices makes the grinding easier and garam masala more flavourful.

Hi! I am CA Vini Mehta. A Chartered Accountant by profession, a food blogger by passion! First of all, I would like to thank you for stopping by at Viniscookbook, I hope you have a good time. Here, yo...u will find the recipes which have been tried, at times re-tried in my kitchen and relished on the dining table. I am mother of two kids and the wife of a person with a high and selective taste sense, so basically anything, before finding its place on the blog, has many levels to cross and clear. This journey started a couple of years back. Before that I was making the most usual kind of food. The only experiment used to be asking my mother how to make something new or different☺. Then, one day, I tried a recipe for butter cookies. And they did not get to go in the container as they were over before I could store them. That day I was introduced to the joy of experimenting with recipes. And I loved everything else that followed especially garnishing and photographing food. I am still not well versed with the photography dos and don’ts but I love to experiment and learn, be it photography or cooking. Hope you too enjoy this journey as much as I do☺! Stay healthy, stay tuned!.
