Our organic garam masala is a blend of ground spices used extensively in Indian cuisine. The spices for garam masala are usually toasted to bring out more flavor and aroma, and then ground. The word "masala" simply means "spices", and "garam" means "hot" in hindi. However, garam masala doesn't necessarily constitute a particularly spicy blend.
Garam masala is a complex medley of spices including sweet cinnamon, spicy heat from peppercorns, tanginess from coriander, earthy cumin, and fragrant cardamom. There is no official garam masala recipe, rather the ingredients change according to region and cook. In Northern India, garam masala will be aromatic and mild, while the farther south you travel in India, the hotter the spices will become.
The most common type of garam masala originated from Northern India, where cold winters called for spices with a warming quality. The spice is used in most regions of India as well as in Pakistan and Iran.
