Description
Garam Masala Powder, known as গরম মসলা গুঁড়া in Bangladesh, is a quintessential aromatic spice blend that varies regionally but typically includes cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, cumin, and black pepper. Originating from the Indian subcontinent, its name translates to “hot spice,” though its warmth comes more from its aromatic qualities rather than intense heat. This powdered blend is added towards the end of cooking or as a garnish to finished dishes, such as curries, stews, and rice preparations, to infuse them with a rich, complex, and intensely fragrant aroma, providing a signature depth of flavor to South Asian cuisine.
