       I have never thought before on making my own garam masala. But things changed when I saw this recipe in a library book I borrowed, it was so simple to try. And I tried. I am glad that I tried. Because now a days a lot more aroma in my dishes. I am not sure about the recipe if it is authentic, but I can assure you, this smells great and if added in place of store bought masala, it does a magicHappy.  From a home where they say No to  garam masala, to making my own garam masala powder at home now  Big Grin

Notes
  • The colour depends upon the ingredients colour you use. But since we do not use red chilli in this, the colour will be on brown shade.
  • Since the flavours are string, we may need only less in places where we use the store bought ones.
