SAMIA garam masala is a blend of seven ground spices, coriander, cinnamon, fennel, cumin, black pepper, cloves and nutmeg, in a 100 g sachet. It flavours curries, dals and the slow-cooked dishes of Indian cuisine.
What is garam masala?
"Garam masala" means "blend of hot spices" in Hindi and Urdu. It is a blend of ground spices, with no chilli, whose composition varies by region and manufacturer. SAMIA's blend combines coriander, cinnamon, fennel, cumin, black pepper, cloves and nutmeg, seven spices in all, with no added salt.
How to use it?
Add it towards the end of cooking or just before serving, to preserve its aromas: half a teaspoon is often enough for a dish for four people. It flavours vegetable, chicken or chickpea curries, tomato- or yoghurt-based sauces, fragrant rice, or as a finishing touch on roasted vegetables.
What to pair it with?
With SAMIA Madras curry to vary the blends, or SAMIA ground cinnamon to strengthen a recipe. The African and Caribbean spices and condiments aisle brings together the other spices in the range.
