Garam Masala Jar 45 g

Garam masala is a traditional and aromatic blend of ground spices that is an essential component of South Asian cooking, particularly in Indian and Pakistani cuisines, where it is valued for its rich, complex flavor and ability to elevate everyday dishes.

The term “garam” translates to “hot” in Hindi, but this refers not to chili heat or spiciness—instead, it reflects the Ayurvedic concept of internal warmth, meaning the spices in the blend are believed to increase body heat and aid in digestion.

This versatile spice mix is known for adding depth, warmth, and fragrance to a wide range of dishes, including curries, biryanis, lentil stews (dal), and vegetable preparations, often added toward the end of cooking to preserve its aromatic quality.

Each household or region may have its own variation of garam masala, typically including spices such as cumin, coriander, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, black pepper, and nutmeg, blended in carefully balanced proportions to create a signature flavor.
