This traditional UP-style garam masala is made with just four ingredients, yet it adds a subtle, aromatic depth to a wide range of Indian dishes. It can be sprinkled over a light, low-fat sabzi or used along with other spices when preparing chicken or mutton curries.
I always keep a jar of it in my pantry, and often pair it with a pinch of Bengali garam masala for an extra layer of flavour.
