I want to prepare "Garam Masala" at home, anyone knows what ingredients I need?!

garam masala is a spice blend that is used at the end of cooking rather than as a basic spice.

While living in India I learnt to cook curry and have posted many recipes on the internet.

Here is the recipe that i have used for the last 57 years, it is more authentic than anything that you buy.

10 Dried red chillies
3" cinnamon sticks
2 dried curry leaveschilli powder
2 tbsp coriander seeds
2 tbsp cumin seeds
1 tsp black peppercorns
1 tsp cloves
1 tsp fenugreek seeds
1 tsp black mustard seeds
1/4 tsp please email me.

In a heavy based pan dry roast the chillies, cinnamon and curry leaves for 2 mins.
Add the remaining spices and continue roasting the spices for anothet 8 mins.
Remove the pan from the heat and allow the spices to cool slightly.
Grind the spices to a powder and store in airtight jar.

Good luck with your cooking, if you need any help with Indian recipes please email me.

The spice mixture called "garam masala" (translates as "hot mixture") isn't just one set of spices, in one particular proportion.
It's made differently by different individuals and also in different regions, using different ingredients and proportions.
You can see the wide variations by just googling:
http://www.google.com/search?q=recipe+ga…
info, ingredients, variations: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garam_masal…

The main ingredients tend to be:
coriander seeds
cumin seeds
cinnamon
cardamom
black pepper
cloves

But various people may then add:
ginger
nutmeg
bay leaves
mace
saffron
star anise

And store-bought garam masalas may also include things like:
dried red chile peppers, dried garlic, sesame seed, mustard seed, malibar leaves, etc, and also use more of the inexpensive spices to keep the cost of production down.

The spices are usually toasted, then ground.
Btw, the word "hot" in garam doesn't refer to chile-hot taste as much as just to
rich-full-warm taste.

Cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, black pepper, nutmeg.

if you see the ''Garam Masala'' at home you see the site a separate room.
