Masalas: (Indian) Garam Masala

Culinary: This is a North Indian spice blend and unlike other spice mixes, garam is often sprinkled over the finished dish to enhance flavours, adding a gentle aroma of roasted spices just before serving. Garam means warm or hot in Hindi and refers to the heating intensity of the blend on metabolism rather than literal heat, as it’s an aromatic blend, rather than being fiery !
