Garam Masala

Garam Masala is very aromatic. It is not a single spice. It is a mixture of spices. Cardamom (Elaichi), Clove (Lobongo), Cinnamon ( Dalchini), Nutmeg (Jaiphal), Mace ( jayitri) and Bay leaf (Tej pata) combine to make the Shahi Garam Masala.

      Shahi Garam Masala can be used as a whole spice for tempering in hot oil or can be dry roasted and ground to make the Garam Masala powder(Garam masala guro). This Garam masala guro is added during the last part of cooking so that the smell lingers around when the dish is served hot.
