Garam Masala is the quintessential Indian equivalent of the oriental five spice mixture. It forms the bedrock of Indian household cooking. An amazingly versatile combination of spices which can be used for curries across cuisines in the South Asian countries of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Albeit, each cuisine may call for a different set or proportion of the spices used.

Each household may in fact have their own proud Garam Masala recipe. Our recipe itself comes as a collaboration of the cumulative experience of our mothers, their mothers and theirs before them. We combine the best of both words – a recipe perfected by years of tweaking by incredible home-makers brought to life by our very potent spices.

Ingredients that go into our Garam Masala are – Cumin, Large Cardamom, Black Pepper, Long pepper, Cinnamon, Clove, Nutmeg, Mace, Tej Patta. We do not add any preservatives, oils or salt etc.

Some dishes call for use of Garam Masala at the very beginning by way of cooking with oil alongside onions, while others need it at the end as a sprinkler on top of the final preparations. But we assure you, once you have tried Garam Masala, you’ll be hooked on to it and you’ll be looking to add it in other dishes too.

Give me some ideas where I can use it –

• You can cook a kickass potato and egg curry with Garam Masala
• In Pulaos, it can be sprinkled on top to give the dish an extra zing
• You can elevate mundane lentils as well with Garam Masala

Did you know?

If you run out of Garam Masala, a blend of Cumin (1 part) and All Spice (1/4 part) should keep you going as a rough replacement till you can order a fresh batch of Garam Masala from us!
