Garam masala is a blend of ground spices common in the Indian, Bengali and Pakistani cuisine, whose literal meaning is hot (or warm) spice. There are many variants: most traditional mixes use just cinnamon, roasted cumin, caraway seeds, cloves, nutmeg (and/or mace) and green cardamom pods or black cardamom pods. Many commercial mixtures may include more of other less expensive spices and may contain dried red chili peppers, dried garlic, ginger powder, sesame seeds, mustard seeds, turmeric, coriander, bay leaves, star anise and fennel.

It can be added to recipes where required or added directly to the food as one would add salt and pepper.
