Spice
Style
Garam masala styles are warm Indian finishing blends—cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, cumin, coriander, pepper, sometimes nutmeg—more aromatic than chilli-hot. Regional and house mixes differ in sweetness and heat. Add near the end of cooking or bloom briefly in ghee so aromas stay lively. Toast whole spices and grind fresh when possible. Replace when the jar smells dusty.
