Adding a little fire to your dishes and kitchen with garam masala
Everything you need to know about garam masala, the spice mixture that India delivered to Persia, is provided here, from the Maharashtrian Goda Masala to the Lucknowi Lazzat-e-Taam.
Have you ever questioned why your food doesn't taste or smell quite like the original, even if you followed an Indian recipe to the letter from a generous cook? Nothing has changed, but there is one crucial element missing: garam masala powder, which is a blend of several aromatic spices and the last bit of magic dust!
Translating to "warm spice," garam masala is a spice blend that gives your food a little kick and spiciness. Usually, it contains ground and roasted spices including cardamom, coriander, fennel, and cinnamon. In Persian, "garm" implies spicy and "masaleh" refers to ingredients, according to Margaret Shaida's book The Legendary Cuisine of Persia.
