Garam Masala

• Garam masala has a warm, complex aroma with notes of cloves, cinnamon, pepper, and other spices depending on the specific blend.
• The flavor profile is warm, sweet, slightly peppery, and slightly nutty. The exact flavor depends on the proportions of the spices used and the roasting process.
• Traditionally, the whole spices were roasted and then ground to a powder using a mortar and pestle.
• Today, pre-ground Garam masala is widely available, with the grind size varying between brands. A finer grind generally releases the flavors more intensely.
