Garam Masala (film) Garam masala is a blend of ground
spices common in the Indian and Pakistani cuisine, whose literal meaning is 'hot (or warm) spice'. There are many variants: most traditional mixes use just
cinnamon, roasted
cumin,
cloves,
nutmeg (and/or
mace) and green
cardamom seed or
black cardamom pods. Many commercial mixtures may include more of other less expensive spices and may contain dried red
chili peppers, dried
garlic,
ginger powder,
sesame,
mustard seeds,
turmeric,
coriander,
bay leaves,
cumin, and
fennel. While commercial garam masala preparations can be bought ready ground, it does not keep well, and soon loses its aroma. Whole spices, which keep fresh much longer, can be ground when needed using a
mortar and pestle or electric coffee grinder.
