- What is garam masala used for?
- It is a warming finishing spice for curries, dal, rice, roasted vegetables and meats. Add it near the end of cooking so its aroma stays.
- Is this blend very spicy?
- No. Garam masala is aromatic rather than hot, built on cinnamon, cardamom, clove and pepper. This blend is on the mild side.
- Is it organic and non-GMO?
- Yes. The jar is labeled organic and non-GMO, and the spice is vegetarian.
- How should I store it?
- Keep the jar sealed in a cool, dark cupboard away from the stove. Ground blends keep their best aroma for about six months after opening.
- How does it compare with a specialty Indian grocery blend?
- Specialty blends are usually stronger and more layered. This one is milder and more uniform, which makes it easy to use in many dishes.
- Where is the Good & Gather Organic Garam Masala cheapest?
- At Target, for $5.29, as of our latest check.
