Sometimes, I feel like making something in the kitchen, but not necessarily cooking.
That’s when I put together a garam masala literally translated
There is a varied palette from which to choose.
That’s when I put together a garam masala literally translatedfrom Hindi it means “hot mixture”.
There is a varied palette from which to choose. I create the mixture according to my mood.
The basic elements include:
Cumin seed, coriander seed, green or brown cardamom seeds, star anise, cloves, peppercorns,cinnamon stick, fenugreek, fennel, turmeric or mace.
I toast all the ingredients in a dry cast iron pan.
I use a coffee grinder exclusively for spices.
Whiz the cooled down spice mixture and inhale the aroma.

Ooh! I'm inspired.
ReplyDeleteOur last WWOOFER used my spices-only coffee grinder for coffee recently. I'd completely forgotten to tell her as we don't drink coffee here in the house. She couldn't understand why the coffee was burning her throat! (not to mention all the other un-coffee-like flavours!)
I know what these taste like!
