Garam Masala is one of my favourite spice blends. It’s dark in colour, often toasted before use and brings a deep flavour to Indian dishes including curries, on vegetables and even used in soup.
I make about 1/4 of a cup at a time. The mix is to be stored in an airtight container, out of heat and away from moisture. The mix will be best within three months of being made.

-8 black cardamom pods
-10 green cardamom pods
