[edit] Description
Garam means hot in "Hindi". In the same way Americans use salt and pepper, Indians use garam masala. It can be added as a spicy flavor enhancer to almost any dish. You can use it at the table , just sprinkle it on, or during the cooking process. I offer you this homemade version as it is far better than any pre-blend.

- 2 tbl. ground black pepper
- 2 tbl. ground cinnamon
- 3 tbl. ground cloves
- 20-25 black cardamom pods

- Now, place all spicesin a skillet and roast, stirring for about 30 seconds.
