garam masala powder recipe| Punjabi garam masala recipe with stepwise photos and a very quick video recipe. The word “garam” refers to “heating the body” in the Ayurvedic sense of the word as these spices are believed to elevate body temperature in Ayurvedic medicine. The recipe i am going to share today is a Punjabi style garam masala recipe.
I have shared so many recipes that have garam masala. There are so many brands who serves the best garam masala in the market, however, this time, I choose to make it at home. You can store this recipe for 6 months(approx) in the refrigerator. Making of garam masala takes only 10 min. You just have to dry roast the ingredients.
before making garam masala, below are few notes on the recipe,
- first, make sure there is no hidden mold or fungi or insects growing on them. if yes, then discard these spices.
- use fresh spices and not old ones.
- you can sundry the spices instead of roasting( i choose to roast spices because sometimes i didn’t get enough sunlight)

Making your own fresh spice blends at home is the only way to go. It is so much fresher and so delicious and you know exactly what is in it and where you have sourced your ingredients. Great video!
Thank you dear 🙂
Oh, that’s great timing! My bought Garam Masala is finished and could not find it again. And I prefer not to order just one jar of spices when ordering online, the transport costs more than the actual spice. This is so easy to make and I have everything I need in the house.
🙂 do try this out and let me know…
I’ve made the garam masala the other day. I left out the black cardamom because that was the one ingredient I didn’t have. I find the spice mixture superb and I know I will be using it a lot. Thank you.
awwww ,Thank you so much adina for getting back to me …love yaa
