GARAM MASALA POWDER

Listing description
Garam masala is a blend of ground spices common in IndiaPakistan, and other South Asian cuisines.
Detailed description
 It is used alone or with other seasonings. The word garam refers to "heating the body" in the Ayurvedic sense of the word, as these spices are believed to elevate body temperature in Ayurvedic medicine.

Ingredients

The composition of garam masala differs regionally, with many recipes across India according to regional and personal taste,[1] and none is considered more authentic than others. The components of the mix are toasted, then ground together.
A typical Indian version of garam masala contains:
·         Black and white peppercorns
·         Cloves
·         Cinnamon or cassia bark
·         Mace (Part of Nutmeg)
·         Black and green cardamom pods
·         Bay leaf
·         Cumin
Some recipes[2] call for the spices to be blended with herbs, while others call for the spices to be ground with water, vinegarcoconut milk, or other liquids, to make a paste. In some recipes, ingredients including nutsonions, or garlic may be added. Some recipes also call for small quantities of star aniseasafoetidachilistone flower (known as dagadphool), and kababchini (cubeb). The flavours may be carefully blended to achieve a balanced effect, or a single flavour may be emphasized. A masala may be toasted before use to release its flavours and aromas.[1]

Use in specific dishes

The order in which spices are added to food may be very elaborate in some dishes. These include:

·         Rogan josh: In the case of this Kashmiri speciality, for example, coriander, ginger and chilies are each ground individually, and a garam masala of cloves, cardamom, fennel, red or black chilies, cumin, turmeric and nutmeg, is prepared separately. The cook tastes the dish carefully to determine the precise moment when the next spice should be added. The order is coriander first, then the ground ginger, then the garam masala, and finally the chilies.[1]
·         Murgh kari (chicken curry): In this chicken dish, the procedure is also precise. First, the chicken is fried and removed from the pan. Onion, garlic, and fresh ginger are added to the pan and cooked slowly for 7 to 8 minutes. The next procedure is where the cumin, turmeric, ground coriander, cayenne, and fennel seeds are added with water and fried for a minute or so. The third procedure involves the addition of tomato concassé with fresh coriander, yoghurt, and salt. The chicken is returned to the pan and more water is added. Finally, some garam masala is sprinkled on top, the pot is tightly covered, and the dish cooks another 20 minutes before serving.
·         Pulao (Pilaf): In Pakistangaram masala is a common additive to various types of this dish. It is usually added to hot oil, where the onions have been fried golden brown.
