Homemade Garam Masala Cookilicious

Yes, I finally made it!!! Just the aroma of all the spices being roasted in my kitchen which was so worth the effort. I have never been content with store bought ground masala. I feel they are not authentic as they have added preservatives, artificial color and flavors. So it was just about time that I made it in my own kitchen. Indeed this is one of the easiest dry spice powder I have made considering that I have made a couple of them being from South India - Sambhar powder/ Rasam Powder/ South Indian Curry Powder and Idli Chutney powder also known as Gunpowder. I have recently made Turmeric powder, Dhania Jeera Powder at home as well. You must check them out too. Just to give you some history about Garam Masala. It is a blend of different whole spices. The kind of spices used may differ from region to region, personal taste and sometimes also ingredient availability in the kitchen. 😉 It is a commonly used seasoning in most of the Indian cooking (but doesn’t limit to it) and it surely does enhance the flavors when added to any dish. It is a very strong spice powder and usually needs to be used in small quantities in any recipe mainly towards the end of the preparation.
