Garam masala

Description

This quintessential spice blend traces its origins to northern India where traditionally it provided warming heat perfect to combat frigid Himalayan winters. Custom mixes vary but garam masala usually contains pepper, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, coriander, and cumin adding a rich aroma and gently spicy flavor to countless North Indian dishes from meat curries and pulses to sabzis, raitas, and chutneys. Works well sprinkled on before serving. Brew into spiced milky tea. An aromatically complex, sweetly spicy blend that's essential to Indian cuisine.
