Frequently Asked Questions
What is whole garam masala?
Whole garam masala is a traditional Indian blend of whole spices, commonly including cinnamon, cloves, green cardamom, black peppercorns, cumin, bay leaves and other aromatic spices. It is used to infuse dishes with rich flavour during cooking.
What is the difference between whole garam masala and ground garam masala?
Whole garam masala contains whole spices that are cooked to slowly release their flavour, while ground garam masala is a powdered spice blend typically added towards the end of cooking for a fragrant finish.

The spices are usually added to hot oil or ghee before onions and other ingredients. This process, known as tempering, releases the essential oils and enhances the flavour of the entire dish.
