Garam masala (organic)

Garam masala is a traditional Indian blend of spices that is one of the basic spice mixes of Indian cookery. Every household and region has their own versions of garam masala. According to Ayurvedic texts only those spices that heat the body should be used, e.g. black cardamom, black pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, black cumin, mace, cloves and bay leaves, since these are the hot spices or garam masalas. Steenbergs organic garam masala is almost a sweet blend based around Punjabi recipes that lacks the characteristic "curry" notes of cumin, coriander and turmeric, making it a very versatile organic curry/spice blend. Steenbergs organic Garam Masala comprises the sweet spice - cinnamon - and the pungent spices - caraway, cloves and cardamom. We add some wonderful organic black pepper from our growers in the Palghat region of Kerala in India to give it some bite. Then we use fennel seeds to bring the flavours together and add some anise tones to the blend.

Blended by Steenbergs Organic at our spice factory in North Yorkshire.

Ingredients: organic green cardamom seeds, organic cinnamon, organic fennel seeds, organic caraway seeds, organic cloves and organic Keralan MG1 black peppercorns.
