ORGANIC GRAM MASALA

Garam Masala is a popular spice blend used extensively in Indian, Pakistani, and South Asian cuisines. The term "garam masala" translates to "hot spice mix," though the "heat" refers more to its warming properties rather than spiciness. This blend is known for its rich aroma and complex flavor, which enhances a variety of dishes.

Preparation:

Its warm, earthy, and slightly sweet flavor profile makes it a staple in many kitchens around the world.
