What is Garam Masala?

Let’s start with the basics. Garam masala isn’t one single spice. It's a carefully curated mix of masala spices like cumin, coriander, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and pepper, among others. Each ingredient is roasted and ground to perfection to create a harmonious blend of flavours. ‘Garam’ literally means ‘hot’ in Hindi, but don’t let that fool you. It's not about the heat like chilli; it's about the warm, aromatic essence it adds to dishes.
This all-purpose spice mix is the soul of Indian cuisine. From rich curries to crispy snacks, garam masala finds its way into almost everything, lending that unmistakable depth that makes you go, ‘What is that amazing flavour?’

A Little History Lesson

Garam masala has roots as deep as India’s culinary history. Ancient Ayurvedic texts mention the use of warming spices to balance the body’s energies. The idea was to create a blend that not only tasted good but also kept you healthy. Over centuries, different regions across India tweaked the recipe, adding their own unique twists. What remained constant, though, was its ability to elevate a dish from good to unforgettable.

Why Garam Masala Works

Here’s the magic of garam masala: its balance. The spices in the blend complement each other perfectly - cinnamon adds sweetness, black pepper brings a kick, cumin offers earthiness, and cardamom provides a hint of floral aroma.
