Garam Masala is one of my favorite spice blends that I have in my pantry. It is a deliciously aromatic mixture of cumin, coriander, cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, pepper and nutmeg that brings an exotic taste to many dishes. Garam Masala is an essential ingredient in traditional Indian cooking. I learned about Garam Masala only a couple of years ago and I have been a complete fan ever since. Garam Masala is generally made with whole spices, toasted and ground but, this recipe is a good substitute if you are in a pinch. It’s easy to make and can be made with ingredients you already have on hand. Enjoy! Tessa
