Garam Masala

An Indian spice mix, the first part of the word actually means "hot" - a telling translation, as adding this to any dish certainly does bring a sense of heat to the taste buds Essentially a blend of dry-roasted herbs and spices, it can be purchased in gourmet stores and Indian markets.

Traditionally, the blend includes: black pepper, cinnamon, cloves, coriander, cumin, cardamom, dried chiles, fennel, mace and nutmeg. If you can't find it in the store, you can easily make a small batch at home - just remember to store in a cool place with your other seasonings.
