Indian food is full of flavors with a variety of spices. One of the most common spices is garam masala, a spice blend that boosts any dish. Garam masala is a spice mix made by grinding a variety of Indian whole spices including cumin seeds, coriander seeds, cinnamon, cardamom, bay leaf, cloves, black peppercorns, and nutmeg.
Whether you use store-bought garam masala powder or use homemade one, you can make a lot of Indian dishes and add a tantalizing and distinctly spicy taste and make it aromatic.
Garam masala can be used for a lot of appetizers, curries, and lentil dishes. It is added while cooking the dish as well as later to adjust the taste to your liking. It is always best to add garam masala in a limited quantity as per the recipe, too much garam masala can add a lot of heat to the food and may not be well tolerated by some people.
This is an awesome list of Indian vegetarian recipes using garam masala. Hope you will enjoy them.
