Indian Garam Masala Powder – Garam Masala Powder Recipe

June 8, 2016 by maria Leave a Comment

Hmmmm Indian Garam Masala Powder is world famous now!

In India Garam Masala Powder is used widely in curries, pulaos, biryanis, vegetables etc. Without Garam Masala most of our recipes would be like sea without salt 🙂 …… This masala is available everywhere in numerous brands. However I love the one made at home that too by mom. But post marriage I made this by myself for many a times.

Indian Garam Masala Powder

Indian Garam Masala Powder gives strong aroma, impact, flavor and color. Unlike the ones you get in the market. Most important is you could make as much quantity you wish to make. Just add about half a tbsp of garam masala it’s that strong. Moreover home made Garam Masala Powder gives great taste, flavor, aroma and taste to your food. It’s worth trying home.

I also tried making vegetable pulao hotel style with this masala. Turned out damn neat and delicious. Not only in pulaos you can them in lentils, biryanis, vegetable, pavbhaji etc. It’s important to taste and see how strong it is else your dish will become strong and spicy. Everyone has their own recipe of garam masala. This is my version of garam masala 🙂
