Garam Masala: The Wonderful Indian Spice Mix Posted by Nitya on Nov 10, 2017 in Hindi Language
Garam masala गरम मसाला is a versatile spice mix that can be used to add zest to a variety of dishes in Indian cooking. While proportions and nuances vary from region प्रांत (praant) to region and chef to chef, the basic ingredients remain the same.
This recipe is borrowed from celebrity chef Harpal Singh’s video below.
Take a pan (tawa) and lightly (halka) dry-roast the ingredients one by one (ek ek karke).
Mix, allow to cool (thanda hone de; imperative) and grind (peens le; imperative) to a fine powder. If required, sieve (chhan le; imperative). Store in an airtight jar.
