garam masala

It seems everyone has their own recipe for garam masala and I'm no different. I basically got mine from Madhur Jaffrey and her fabulous book Indian Cookery (it's quite an old book).

The recipe below will make around 3 tablespoons.

The Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp cardamon seeds
  • 2 inch tick of cinnamon
  • 1 tsp black (or normal) cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp whole cloves
  • 1 tsp black peppercorns
  • ¼ of a nutmeg (about ½ tsp of ground nutmeg)

The Recipe

  1. Put all the ingredients into a coffee grinder or a spice grinder and blitz for just under a minut or until everything is well ground and blended.

Store in an airtight container well away from direct sunlight.
