GARAM MASALA POWDER
Listing description
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.
Some recipes[2] call for the spices to be
blended with herbs, while others call for the spices to be ground with
water, vinegar, coconut milk, or other liquids,
to make a paste. In some recipes, ingredients including nuts, onions, or garlic may be added.
Some recipes also call for small quantities of star anise, asafoetida, chili, stone 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 Pakistan, garam 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.
