This mixture is an aromatic blend of Indian spices. Garam masala is better when made with whole spices that have been roasted and ground. Garam means "hot" while masala means "spices," but it's not necessarily hot and spicy â?? the name refers to the warm flavors of its ingredients, such as cinnamon and cumin. Garam masala is usually added toward the end of cooking so that it seasons the dish and adds its aroma, it is used in dishes like Chicken Biryani, Indian Butter Chicken (Makhani Chicken), Palak Paneer Curry.
