AuthorNote: Garam masala, which simply means "hot spice" is used
throughout India, although particularly in the food of the North, where
winters are very cold. It is not a standardized recipe and is open to
interpretation, with the distinct blends of each region giving the masala
its own character and taste. This is my favorite garam masala, a rich,
aromatic version of the staple Indian spice mix that I have developed over
time.
