Garam Masala is THE kitchen staple—a blend so versatile and well-loved that it belongs in any pantry that has salt and pepper. And it's back in stock!
You will find a version of this spice blend in innumerable South Asian households, and while the exact recipe of spices and their proportions vary across regions and families, garam masala makes up the base of thousands of South Asian dishes.
🥕 Season potatoes, carrots, or sweet potatoes! Just toss the veggies with EVOO, a liberal sprinkling of the masala, and salt before roasting.
🧆 Toss it into chickpeas with some oil, before frying them up until crispy. Serve over a bed of yogurt or hummus!
🍚 Make a simple one-pot pulao or spiced vegetable rice
We tested a whopping 25 versions of garam masala on the market and from cookbooks before creating five versions of our own. Lots of tweaking and tasting later, we arrived at our final blend which features 12 single-origin spices sourced from 58 small regenerative family farms (whew!). Cumin, fennel, coriander, black pepper, cinnamon, and more are carefully roasted and blended to give this masala a wonderful balance of spicy, sweet, earthy, and zesty flavors.

Happy cooking!
