Ingredient Note: A few of the above blends use whole spices which are ground before combining. Whilst this gives the best flavours, if you don't have them whole just use ground powders and reduce the amount the recipe requires by half.

For example, if it says 2 tablespoons of coriander seeds, you would use 1 tablespoon of pre-ground coriander. Reduce any others you don't have whole by half as well and stir in with any other powders when making.


Here's a video of how I made a version of the above recipes. The ingredients may be slightly different but the process is exactly the same. If you enjoyed it, you can click the subscribe button in the bottom right corner in the video, or the link below the video...

Why You Should Make Your Own

Garam MasalaGaram Masala

Of course it's easy and convenient to pop to the store and pick up a jar of commercial powder; but here's why I recommend you make your own...

  • More flavour than store-bought blends that will be transferred to your Indian cooking
  • You decide what is added. Not keen on a certain ingredient? Leave it out completely or just use another 
  • Commercial blends may contain filler ingredients to bulk them up: cheap chili powder and husks for example
  • Whilst there will be a use by/sell by date, it's unlikely there is a "when it was made" date. It may have been sitting on the store shelf for months, and maybe even years, slowly losing flavour!
  • No artificial colours, additives or preservatives. And If you're able to source organic ingredients your garam masala recipes will be free of pesticides and GMO's!
