Garam masala is added towards the end of cooking, in authentic Indian cuisine, not just packet mix garam masala.

Hi George,
I do sometimes use shop bought Garam Masala but mainly make up my own. It is far more aromatic and fresher than packet stuff. The roasting of the spices gives off such a fantastic aroma. Try this Garam Masala I have attached from Mridula Baljekars book.

It is a masala mix by MDH that a number of my mom's friends use in HUGE quantities!! ?these are the people who make "curries" by making base sauces first. It was because they always asked for large boxes from indian stores (the town I am from has no indian stores, restaurants, nothing - and the closest is a 2 hour drive away) that we decided to try it ourselves! ?I brought this up on a previous thread somewhere!
I started throwing it into all my dishes - gives a really good flavor. ?I have seen it in stores in massive boxes - but i dont remember if it was in the US or here in the UK.

 ? ?Now hold on there ! ? I have seen the whole process with my own eyes. I noted the ingredients . I watched the techniques. I didn't see anything that is not already on this site.If I missed anything, I am sure it was because those techniques weren't entirefully familiar to me at the time, and it was simply something the chefs did. So if anyone has a demo coming up, please concentrate on those TECHNIQUES !!!!
