What is Garam Masala Mix?
Garam Masala Mix is a traditional Indian spice blend originating from Maharashtra, India. The name translates to “hot spice mix” – referring not to chilli heat, but to the warming properties these spices are traditionally believed to impart in Ayurvedic wellness practice. Our blend combines premium whole spices including cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, black peppercorns, bay leaves, nutmeg and cumin, each selected for purity and aromatic potency. This is a ground, ready-to-use powder form that delivers authentic flavour without any fillers or additives.

How to Use
Traditional Cooking: Add 1–2 teaspoons to curries, biryanis, dals and rice dishes during the tempering or cooking stage. Bloom the spices in hot oil or ghee for 30–60 seconds to release their full aromatic potential before adding other ingredients. Use as the base spice layer in meat marinades and vegetable stir-fries.
Masala Chai & Wellness Beverages: Steep ½ teaspoon in hot milk or water with tea leaves for 3–5 minutes to create a warming, traditionally valued chai. This preparation is associated with supporting healthy digestion and is a beloved daily ritual in Indian households.
Spice Rubs & Seasoning: Mix with yoghurt or oil to create marinades for grilled vegetables, paneer, chicken or fish. Dust over roasted vegetables, popcorn or nuts for an instant flavour boost. A pinch enhances soups, lentil preparations and grain bowls.
Note: Store in an airtight container away from heat and light to preserve potency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this garam masala mix vegan and gluten-free?
A: Yes. Our blend contains only pure spices with no animal-derived ingredients, binders or gluten. It is naturally vegan and suitable for gluten-free diets.
Q: What is the difference between whole and ground garam masala?
A: This product is ground (powdered) for immediate use in cooking. Whole spice blends require toasting and grinding at home, which some cooks prefer for maximum freshness. Our ground version offers convenience without sacrificing quality or flavour.
Q: How much garam masala should I use per serving?
A: Typically, 1–2 teaspoons per 4-person curry or dish. Adjust to taste preference. For chai, ½ teaspoon per cup is standard. Start with less and add more as you become familiar with the blend’s potency.
Q: How long does this stay fresh?
A: When stored in an airtight container away from heat and light, peak flavour lasts 12–18 months. Spices gradually lose potency over time, so we recommend purchasing quantities you will use within a year for best results.
Q: Is this FSSAI-certified and export-ready?
A: Yes. Manufactured under FSSAI License No. 11525996000558 and tested to international export standards. Certificates of Analysis and compliance documentation are available for wholesale and institutional buyers.
