Terry's Restaurant Garam Masala?
« on: October 14, 2006, 10:34 AM »
This was referred to in a recent recipe post.  I have searched the site but I can't find it.  Any comments on it would be welcome also.

Not sure about this one, don't recall Terry giving a recipe for garam masala..but based on one of his posts , this might be it -

4 table spoons of coriander powder
3 1/2 table spoons of turmeric
2 1/2 table spoons of cummin powder
1 table spoon of paprika powder
2 table spoons of a good curry powder
I use Rajah madras gold as used in most restaurants

Hi CC,

I'm pretty sure that this IS NOT a garam masala recipe CC....

...it looks simply like a Bruce Edward's type curry masala ("spice mix") to me?

I would expect a garam masala (i.e "hot spice mixture") to have hot/aromatic spices such as cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, mace/nutmeg, etc in it.

Here is Terry's recipe -

40g (1 1/2 oz) Cloves 60g (2 oz) Black Peppercorns 40g (1 1/2 oz) Brown Cardamoms 40g (1 1/2 oz) Green Cardamoms 100g (4 oz) Cumin Seeds 50g (2 oz) Cinnamon Stick 50g (2 oz) Coriander Seeds 15g (1 1/2 oz) Nutmeg 6 Bay Leaves

Dry roast all the ingredients together in a frying pan (stirring all the time) over a low heat until they give a pungent smell, making sure they don't burn.

Grind the roasted whole spices and pass through a very fine sieve or fine muslin cloth.

Store in an airtight container.
