Flavor & cooking character
Warm, aromatic and complex with coriander and cumin, peppery depth, cardamom-cinnamon sweetness and a lingering clove-like finish.
Garam masala provides aromatic warmth rather than one fixed level of chile heat. It can be cooked into a moist base or used lightly near the finish. Try the same dish with an early addition and a late addition to understand the difference in aroma.
What to cook
Chicken, lamb, lentils, chickpeas, potatoes, cauliflower, rice, curries, soups, stews, roasted vegetables and sauces.
How much to use & when to add it
1 teaspoon per two servings to begin.
Use this amount as a starting point for flavor, then adjust to your food and taste. If other ingredients bring salt, sweetness or heat, account for those before adding more seasoning.
Kitchen idea: Garam masala tomato beans
Soften onion in oil, add 1 teaspoon masala and a can of chopped tomatoes, then simmer. Add a drained can of beans and heat through. Finish with yogurt or lemon to taste, keeping any extra masala to a small final pinch.
Culinary background
Garam masala is a family of South Asian spice mixtures, with regional and household variations. The blend may be adjusted to a particular dish, and its warming character is not necessarily the same as chile heat.
