Garam masala

Garam masala is one of the three masalas we sell in depeperwinkel. Like ras el hanout, it has many flavors. compounds.  We'll keep it at a recipe that is authentically spicy, and not hot.

Sometimes garam masala clearly contains non-Indian ingredients, such as paprika and cayenne pepper. One thing is for sure, there is no turmeric in it as Jane Lawson in her Spice Bible rightly notes, neither do chili's!

Maddhur Jaffrey explains the use of garam masala in Taste of India clearly state: "sprinkle pour it over your dish just before serving." She also adheres to the main rule: no chili pepper, no turmeric, but black pepper.

A well-known Indian dish in which garam masala is indispensable is tandoori chicken, richly marinated chicken prepared in a tandoori oven. The marinade is a blend of yogurt, ginger, garlic, garam masala, and oil, optionally enriched with a little extra cumin, black pepper, and fenugreek leaf (kasuri methi).

Smell and taste

Garam masala is warm and spicy, but definitely not "hot." Add it at the end of cooking to fully appreciate its rich aromas. Pair it with grilled chicken (marinated in yogurt with garam masala—like tandoori chicken) and braised lamb. Garam masala is rarely, if ever, used with fish. Do you enjoy using masala with fruit? Then enrich your masala with a little mango powder and (for those who prefer it) with asafoetida.
