Note: All the ingredients in this recipe are pre-ground powders...

What You'll Need: (makes about 10 tablespoons)

3 tbsp coriander
1 tbsp black pepper
1 tbsp fenugreek
1 tbsp mustard
1½ tbsp cumin
2 tsp ginger
1 tsp cloves 
1 tsp cinnamon

tbsp = tablespoon
tsp = teaspoon

Directions:

  • Simply mix everything together!

Store your garam masala powder in an airtight container out of direct sunlight. Use within 3 months.

Note: Whilst this recipe uses ground powders, if you have more time you could use a few whole spices and grind them fresh. If you do, just double the amount the recipe says. For example, for 3 tablespoons of ground coriander, you would use 6 tablespoons of whole coriander seeds. See the links at the bottom of the page for recipes that use whole.
