If you have had any contact with Indian cuisine, this name should be familiar to you. Garam Masala is an Indian spice blend used in a wide variety of dishes. Its composition can vary from region to region. I give the composition close to the most typical one.

It is better if the spices used to make this mixture are whole - in this form, they will give much more flavor than ground ones. But you (like me this time) still act according to the situation.
