Steenbergs Organic Garam Masala

Steenbargs Garam Masala is a classic Indian spice blend. It’s one of Steenbergs’ Signature Spice blends and contains only natural, organic ingredients. We developed over 20 years ago.

Garam masala is a blend of spices, mostly used in north Indian cooking, and particularly for meat dishes. The spice mixture can be fried in hot oil or ghee before other ingredients as the base for many types of curries. Alternatively, you can add it at the end of cooking to lift the dish. Garam Masala helps to add back flavours that can get lost during cooking, so you’ve got the sweet cinnamon and cardamom, characteristic curry notes of cumin and coriander with a touch of pepper.

Steenbergs Organic Garam Masala is an almost sweet spice blend, which is based on Punjabi recipes, so it lacks the characteristic curry notes of cumin , coriander and turmeric, making it a very versatile organic curry spice mix. This spice blend combines sweet spices – cinnamon and cardamom – and pungent spices – caraway and cloves. At Steenbergs, we add some wonderful black pepper from organic growers in India to give it some bite. Then, Axel has used organic fennel powder to bring the flavours together and add some anise tones to the blend.

Love it.

We’ve got alternative styles of garam masala – try Andaza Garam Masala for a Pakistani version of garam masala. It’s so very different, much more aromatic.
