Abbi Garam Masala

Garam Masala is a blend of ground spices, originating from South Asia, which is widely used in Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, and other South Asian cuisines. This aromatic mix typically includes spices like cumin, coriander, cardamom, cloves, black pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Each region, and even each household, may have its unique version of garam masala, sometimes adding other spices like bay leaves, fennel seeds, or mustard seeds. Garam masala is often added towards the end of cooking to retain its robust flavor and fragrance, enhancing the taste of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes.
