Garam Masala (கரம் மசாலா) is a fragrant and flavorful spice blend commonly used in Indian cuisine. Typically consisting of cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, cumin, and coriander, this mix enhances curries, rice dishes, soups, and snacks. It adds depth and warmth to food. Health benefits include aiding digestion, reducing inflammation, and boosting immunity due to the spices' anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Garam masala can also improve metabolism and enhance heart health. For storage, keep it in an airtight container, away from heat and light, to maintain its aroma and potency. It’s best used within a few months for optimal flavor.
