Garam Masala

£1.49

Prices checked

Garam masala is best known for finishing a good curry, stirred in at the end of cooking to lift the whole dish. It is a warming spice blend from the Herbs & Spices range, ground to a fine, aromatic powder with a rich, rounded flavour. Cooks reach for garam masala in everyday dishes such as chicken curry, lamb rogan josh, dal and vegetable curries. It works well sprinkled over rice dishes like biryani or pilau, and it is often used to season kebabs, mince dishes and spiced potatoes. A small pinch added towards the end of cooking, rather than at the start, helps keep its aroma strong and prevents the flavour from cooking away. Use it sparingly at first, tasting as you go, since a little goes a long way. It also works well combined with other spices already in a recipe, rather than as the only seasoning. Store garam masala in a cool, dark cupboard, well sealed in its packaging or an airtight container, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keeping it away from steam and heat near the hob will help it stay fragrant for longer. Use a dry spoon each time to keep the powder in good condition.
