Authentic Northern Indian garam masala. While each family seems to have their own personal blend, the ones I've seen on Zaar are highly questionable, so I felt the need to post my own. This is in the Punjabi style as taught to me by the owner of a Pakistani restaurant. All spices are whole unless otherwise specified and can be found at your local Indian market.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons black peppercorns
1 bay leaf
1 star anise
1 tablespoon black cumin
1 tablespoon white cumin
1 tablespoon green cardamoms
1 tablespoon black cardamom pod
1 tablespoon indian coriander
1 tablespoon mace
1 tablespoon fennel
1 tablespoon ground red chili pepper
1 tablespoon ground turmeric
1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 tablespoon clove
Directions:
1. Grind all spices together in a spice mill (or at least a coffee grinder). Make sure to use ground turmeric as, in its whole form, it's hard like a rock (literally).
