Key Features
-
Ingredients: A robust mix of Coriander (34%), Cumin, Cassia, Red Chili, Black Pepper, Bay Leaves, Cloves, Cardamom, and Star Anise.
-
Authentic Texture: The “Special” designation refers to the traditional pounding process, giving it a coarser texture that releases flavor gradually during cooking.
-
Versatility: Unlike specialized masalas (like Chole or Pav Bhaji), this is a “finishing” spice designed for gravies, lentils, and even dry stir-frys.
How to Use It Like a Chef
-
The Final Touch: Garam Masala is heat-sensitive. To keep the aroma fresh, sprinkle it over your dish 2–3 minutes before turning off the heat rather than adding it at the beginning.
-
Sprinkle on Snacks: It’s excellent as a seasoning for roasted nuts, makhana (foxnuts), or even over a hot bowl of soup for an Indian twist.
-
The Oil Seal: If you are making a curry, adding a tiny bit of the masala to the hot oil “tadka” for just 5 seconds before adding onions can deepen the color of your gravy.
