HOMEMADE GARAM MASALA POWDER
BY DISHA LAHORI
Garam masala is a blend of ground spices, originating from India, common in Indian, Pakistani, Nepalese, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan and Afghan cuisines. It is used alone or with other seasonings.
The composition of garam masala differs regionally, with many recipes across the our country , according to regional and personal taste, and none is considered more authentic than others. The components of the mix are toasted, then ground together.
The flavours may be carefully blended to achieve a balanced effect, or a single flavour may be emphasized. A masala may be toasted before use to release its flavours and aromas.
