Garam Masala

Garam masala is the classic spice blend of Indian cooking. It is usually a ground mix of warming whole spices such as coriander, cumin, black pepper, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon and bay leaf, and each maker has its own recipe and balance. Add garam masala towards the end of cooking to finish curries, dal makhani, rajma, chhole, paneer and chicken dishes, and sprinkle a pinch on sabzis and biryani. It also goes into marinades, kebabs, parathas, samosa fillings and soups. A little goes a long way, so start with half a teaspoon.
