Garam Masala Spice Blend

based on 1 ratings

This particular spice blend recipe hugs the boundary between sweet and savory. I find it extremely versatile for most recipes. I also like the added benefits of having ginger and turmeric included – which are wonderful anti-inflammatory spices. When adding to a recipe, add nearer to the end. It is also important to use just a little as it can easily become overpowering in a dish and it can warm your stomach too much. There is no salt in this blend, so salt the recipe you are using this blend with to your taste. If you choose to use whole spices, go the extra step of roasting them prior to grinding. Roasting helps the spices to release their aroma. This recipe makes a small amount. This is so that you can experiment until it perfectly matches your taste. Once perfected, you can scale the recipe up and make larger batches, so you always have it on hand.
