Garam masala is a popular spice blend that originates from the Indian subcontinent. "Garam" means "hot" in Hindi, but it refers to the warming and aromatic qualities of the spices rather than their spiciness. Garam masala typically consists of a combination of ground spices, including cumin, coriander, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and black pepper. However, the exact composition of garam masala can vary depending on regional preferences and personal recipes.

           Garam masala offers a warm, earthy, and aromatic flavor profile. The blend of spices creates a harmonious combination that is both fragrant and balanced. The individual spices in garam masala contribute different notes to the overall flavor, with cumin and coriander providing earthiness, cardamom and cinnamon adding warmth and sweetness, and cloves and black pepper lending a subtle spiciness.
