Ingredients:

1/3 cup cumin seeds (jeera), 40 gram
2-1/2 tablespoons black pepper (kale mirch), 20 gram
1/4 cup whole black cardamom (kali ilachi), 20 gram
2-1/2 tablespoons cinnamon powder (dal cheene), 20 gram
1 cup packed bay leaves (tajpat), 20 gram
1/4 cup cloves (long), 20 gram
2 teaspoons mace powder (javantri), 8 gram
2 teaspoons nutmeg powder (jaiphal), 8 gram

Method

Mix all the spices and grind to a powder. Store the Garam Masala in air tight glass container. I use powdered cinnamon, mace, nutmeg, and black pepper because most home blender are not powerful to properly blend these spices.

All of the spices used in Garam Masala are strong in flavor and have warmth. I prefer to sprinkle Garam Masala to a dish to give it a finishing touch.
