WHOLE GARAM MASALA

Alongside curry, garam masala is the best-known Indian spice blend and is known for its highly aromatic, complex mix. These whole spices – black and green cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, pepper, coriander seeds, Ceylon cinnamon and cumin – offer the full, unadulterated aroma. This blend is ideal for grinding yourself to get the most out of its fresh, intense aroma.

Spicy and complex, with a warm, sweet note from cinnamon and nutmeg, combined with a refreshing heat from pepper and cardamom.

Add the blend to a curry dish 10 minutes before the end of cooking to round off the flavor and enhance the authenticity of the dish. You can also toast the blend in the pan at the start to bring out an even more intense aroma. Ideal for curries, stews, lentil dishes or as a marinade for meat and vegetables.

Garam masala literally means “hot spices” and refers not to heat but to the warm, intense aromas of the spices it contains. Every region of India has its own variant, passed down from family to family. Garam masala is often freshly ground to preserve the essential oils and give dishes an incomparable aroma.
