Garam masala is made of three kinds of spices: the base ingredients; the earthy, smoky spices; and the aromatic spices.
Ingredients:
Adapted version:
* 1/4 cup (15g) coriander seeds
* 1 teaspoon (2.5g) cumin seeds
* 1/2 teaspoons (1.5g) black peppercorns
* 1/4 cinnamon stick (1g)
* 1 bay leave
* 3 green cardamom pods (10-12)
* 2 cloves (0.15g)
* 1/4 star anise (0.15g)
* 1/4 nutmeg (1g)
Original version:
Base ingredients for a garam masala recipe:
* 1 cup coriander seeds, which release a sweet floral aroma when toasted
* 4 teaspoons cumin seeds add sweetness and bitterness
* The earthy, smoky flavors:
* 2 teaspoons black peppercorns for a sharp, earthy flavor
* 1 cinnamon stick for a sweet, woody flavor
* 2 bay leaves for a pungent, sharp and bitter taste
* 2 to 3 black cardamom pods give a smoky, minty flavor
* Aromatic spices:
* 8 to 10 green cardamom pods produce a zesty citrus flavor that can be both sweet and spicy
* 8 cloves add strong, pungent and astringent flavors
* 1 star anise gives the spice mix a sweet licorice flavor
* 2 mace blades add a sweet, woody, pungent aroma
Utensils:
* Moledor de especias
Preparation:
1. Heat a skillet on medium heat and dry roast the spices for about 5 minutes, until aromatic. The spices should be roasted about 70 percent, not entirely.
2. Allow the spices to cool completely.
3: Grind the spices using a coffee grinder or spice grinder -— an essential Indian cooking tool -— until they have a smooth mixture.
