Garam Masala Powder Recipe Startup Cooking 



Garam masala is a blend of ground spices used extensively in Indian cuisine. The spices for garam masala are usually roasted to bring out more flavor and aroma.  The word masala simply means "spices," and garam means "hot". Garam masala is very pungent but not as hot as chilli powder. This is a popular spice mix in all Indian recipes. It can be stored in air tight container to keep the flavors intact for 1 or 2 months. 

Garam masala also known as the soul of Indian food and is basically a melange of Indian spices that is used in both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. The magic lies in the aroma of the spices that altogether enhance the taste of the dish. Now a days, readymade garam masala packets are easily available, but it is always good to use homemade ones, as it is far more effective.
