This is better than the stuff I buy at the market Thanks!
Wow...I am from Yakima too..living in Las Vegas! I knew that I had to try cooking something with this delectable concoction. My husband and I love curries of any kind so this was the next logical step. Thanks for the wonderful recipe. I recently bought a coffee grinder at a yard sale for 2 and this will be it's maiden voyage. Thanks again Michelle...Happy Spices!
I love the fragrance of this mixture while you're grinding it. I don't prepare Indian dishes as often as I'd like but having this blend ready will make it easier.
This is just right. I sift mine through a screen to get out some of the big stuff and the coriander seed husks.
This was a great blend for Garam Masala (warming spice). I used it in an Indian Spice Rub and for making my Curry Powder blend. I did this recipe as a part of the Western Region's Faceless Frenzy July 2012.
A good recipe nice and flavourful but needs some work. I think it was quite heavy on the coriander seed. It overpowered all other flavours in my final dish. The turmeric was a little heavy too. I'll redo this recipe with those two ingredients dialed back a bit. Thanks!
I make this same blend from a recipe I got from an Indian Cook Book around 20-25 years ago. I always have these spices on hand and I'm sure I have saved quite a sum of money. I do however keep my blend for up to 4 or 5 months depending on usage. I keep it in a airtight tin and it stays fresh till I have to make it again.
This was so much fun to make. And since I can make my own now I can cook as much Indian as I like!
Followed recipe came out better than expected
Garam Masala is one of those things where its much cheaper to buy it ready made and its pretty much perfect. By the time you've stocked those other things which you wont be using for much else other than Garam Masala it would cost a lot more to make your own. I buy mine in a big bag - there's nothing to go wrong and they get their relative measurements down to a T.
