Origin and description
“ THE FOUNDATION FOR INDIAN CURRIES ”.
Garam masala, along with curry, is the most famous Indian spice blend and is known for its highly aromatic, complex mixture. These whole spices, consisting of black and green cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, pepper, coriander seeds, Ceylon cinnamon, and cumin, offer a full, authentic aroma. This blend is ideal for grinding yourself to maximize its fresh, intense flavor.
Taste and aroma
Spicy, complex, with a warm, sweet note from cinnamon and nutmeg, combined with a refreshing spiciness from pepper and cardamom.
Application
Add the mix to a curry dish 10 minutes before the end of cooking to round out the flavor and enhance its authenticity. You can also toast the mix in a pan at the beginning to intensify the aroma. Ideal for curries, stews, lentil dishes, or as a marinade for meat and vegetables.
