Culinary Uses

Garam Masala adds a rich, aromatic depth and a finishing fragrance to dishes:

Finishing Touch: It is usually added towards the end of the cooking process or just before serving to preserve its delicate aromas and ensure the essential oils are at their peak.
Versatile in Dishes: It is a staple in a variety of meat curries, biryanis, kormas, stews, soups, dals (lentil dishes), and marinades.
Tempering: Sometimes, whole spices from the blend are briefly fried in oil or ghee at the beginning of cooking to infuse the fat with flavor (a process called tempering or bhuna).
Sweet Applications: A small pinch can occasionally be found in traditional sweet dishes like payesh (rice pudding) or halwa.
