 It's that easy!


 


 Garam Masala means "hot spices" and is a mixture of ground spices that is


 used sparingly, sprinkled either on a finished dish or on to the foods just


 before it has finished cooking. It is far better to grind your own spices


 than to buy the mixture ready-ground. Bought garam masala often contains


 inferior quality spices and will not keep its flavour for long.


 


 For homemade garam masala, grind together cardamom seeds from 10 pods, 25g


 cinnamon stick, 6 cloves and 6-8 whole black peppercorns. Store in an


 airtight jar in a cool place.
