Ingredients

  • 2 parts cumin
  • 2 parts fennel
  • 2 parts caraway
  • 1 1/2 parts coriander
  • 1 1/2 parts cardamom
  • 1-2 parts cinnamon
  • pinch saffron
  • 1-2 parts chiles

Directions

Grind all ingredients in a food processor or mortar and pestle (I use a coffee grinder).

Notes:
1. All ingredients should be in seed/whole form for freshest taste.

2. For a super quick garam masala, mix 2 parts mild curry powder with 1 part cinnamon.

3. Garam masala, like all curries, is very individual and has hundreds of possible blends. Experiment to develop your own taste.
