Garam Masala (Indian Spice Powder)

Garam Masala(Hot mixture literally translated) powder is easy to make and you can make it ahead of time. Some people do not add the dry red chilis but I prefer it. Easy way to remember it is the 6 'Cs': Cloves, Cardamom, Cinnamon, Cumin, pepper Corns, dry red Chilies or the 5 'Cs' if you want to avoid the Chilies.

Grind the following to a dry powder: 

  • 2-3 cloves
  • 1-2 cardamom (skinned)
  • 1” piece cinnamon
  • 2-3 pepper corns
  • 1 tsp black cumin seeds (jeera)
  • 1-2 piece of dry red chilies. (tops off)


Tip: You can make this dry mix ahead of time and store for 3-4 weeks in room temperature.
