Introduction:
Garam Masala, meaning “hot spices” in Hindi, is one of India’s most treasured blends. Used more for its warming aroma than its heat, it usually combines cumin, coriander, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and cardamom. Each region of India has its own recipe, often passed down through families, making Garam Masala not just a seasoning but a cultural heritage spice.
