Garam
Masala - The King of Spices
| Garam
Masala is an exotic, fragrant and delicious blend of
roasted whole spices. The spice is carefully stored
in airtight jars or tins to maintain its freshness
and flavor. In Urdu, the national language of Pakistan
and my native language, ‘garam’ means
hot and ‘masala’ means spices. Most cooks
and food lovers of spicy food have their own concoction,
somewhere from five to thirteen different spices are
used to create this delightful combination. Personally,
I think that preparing any meat dish without garam masala
is a culinary crime in itself. |
| White Jasmine Garam Masala is a combination
of five fragrant, flavorful spices; cinnamon, cloves,
coriander, cumin and black peppercorns, it is the best
garam masala you will ever try. This combination of roasted
spices adds a robust and delectable flavor to any dish,
especially meat dishes. All our spices are natural and
kosher; they are carefully selected and known for their
flavor and freshness. I am a firm believer of the fact
that only fresh and powerful ingredients can create a
wholesome culinary experience. |
| Many
years ago when we first moved to United States, I was
intrigued by Hamburger Helper, a whole dried meal in
a box…….quite fascinating!
Believe it or not, even Hamburger Helper meals start
to taste bearable after adding a bit of garam masala,
garlic, ginger and cilantro. Having said that, I would
not recommend preparing a meal from a box unless there
is an emergency. |
| One of my favorite American foods is a
hamburger. However, my hamburgers taste a little bit
different from traditional American hamburgers because
I like to add garam masala, tons of fresh cilantro, chopped
green onions and garlic in addition to chili powder,
whole cumin, salt, barbecue sauce and olive oil to the
ground beef. Attached is the recipe for spicy hamburgers,
enjoy! |
