Garam masala powder | homemade garam masala | garam masala recipe with step by step photos and video recipe. Garam masala is very much an important spice in most of the Indian dishes. 
Homemade spice powders have a unique fresh and strong flavour than store bought ones. This Garam masala powder is adapted by me for all my recipes. Its super simple to prepare and you can store it in air tight container for longer shelf life and to retain the flavour.
It is also suggested to make it in smaller batches to retain the strong flavour of the garam masala. Compared to store bought garam masala, this one is stronger and so can be added very little.
