Garam Masala

GARAM MASALA (KING OF SPICES )



Hello all my readers today I am goiing to tell you about the use and important of garam masala in various cooking. more people get confuse about the main ingredients of garam masala, but today I am going to make it simple for you. Although there are mainly two different varietes of garam masala that are being used in cooking, one is "whole garam masala" and "powdered garam masala". Today I am going to tell you differnt combinations that are used to make garm masala. Each combination has its own use .
The more literally means “hot spices” which enhances the taste of food. This is mostly in powdered form. It is blended for more than one spice,, Each spice has a specific and unique aroma. It plays an important role in marination of kebabs and in gravies.
Garam masala are often chef,s own combination of spices. To make any blend/mix, it is important to be aware of spices and their charactersics. There are many versions of masalas. Every chef has its own combination. There are basically two blends of garam masala. One is chill hot and the other comprise aromatic.
Its use in kebab during marinatioin and in some kebabs it is sprinkled over after cooking to provide aromatic flavouring at the time of serving. One often sees some people sprinkle tandoori masala over kebabs after coking. I would not advise this as I think its over spice the kebabs, kills the specific aroma of meat and makes all the kebabs alike.
The art of preparing garam masala involves grinding or powdering a combination of dried spices and condiments. Spices are lightly roasted on griller or on a slow flame till a subtle aroma emanates. Remove from fire and grind. Sieve finely. If the masala is still moist, dry it and store in an air – tight jar for further use. For the benefits of the readers who would like to prepare garam masam, i have listed ingredients and the method on next page.
