Premium Garam Masalaगरम मसाला (Garam Masala)
Properties
Garam Masala, translating to "hot" or "warming" spice, is the quintessential finishing blend of Indian cuisine. Unlike meat masalas which contain base spices like coriander and turmeric, premium Garam Masala is often heavily concentrated with highly aromatic, sweet, and pungent spices: cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, black pepper, and mace. It is typically sprinkled over a dish at the very end of cooking to preserve its volatile essential oils and impart a profound aromatic warmth.
