Garam Masala is a traditional Indian spice blend known for its rich, warm, and aromatic flavor profile. The name “Garam Masala” translates to “hot spice mix,” but it is not necessarily hot in terms of heat; rather, it refers to the blend’s warming qualities. Typically made from a combination of spices like cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, cumin, coriander, and black pepper, Garam Masala adds depth and complexity to a variety of dishes.
