Garam Masala image

Garam Masala is a blend of Indian Curry spices, this is a blend that I put together 2 & 1/2 years ago for my cooking class. You will need to use a food processor for this recipe, or spend a decent about of time at a mortar and pestle. I love the smell of this blend, so warm and earthy!! Hope you enjoy making it!
