Garam Masala

Garam Masala is a common east Indian blend of spices. Translated it means hot spices. It is called for in many traditional east Indian dishes and like most Indian blends it will vary from household to household and will never be the same. It is a very warm pungent blend. Try mixing with honey as a fragrant barbecue rub for chicken or as a warming flavor to curries and stews.

Ingredients: cardamom, coriander, cumin, pepper, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg

Uses: Fantastic for any curries such as chicken tikka masala. Mix with melted butter as a rub or marinade for meat prior to braising, broiling or grilling. Add to sour cream or yogurt for dipping sauce.
