just purchased a  box of Julpur Garam Masala(?4.35 for 375 gms.)
Ingredients  are
Black pepper, Cinnamon,Cloves,Black Cardomons,Star Aniseed,Coriander, Cummin,Red chilli, Mixed spices.

when opening the box the gm which is an a polythene bag smells quite strong with the emphasis on the cloves/star anise  side of things- smells more chinese than indian.

Hi Coffee,

when opening the box the gm which is an a polythene bag smells quite strong with the emphasis on the cloves/star anise  side of things- smells more chinese than indian.

That is exactly how I would describe the smell of Rajah garam masala, I wonder if they are similar?

I find the Rajah GM has a touch of the dental hospital about it, the Natco GM has a slightly better flavour. Im sure Jalpur supply Natco with their raw materials

Thanks for this info coffee, a useful post for anyone seeking to understand ifindforu's mix powder. For the sake of comparison I list below the ingredients of Bart Spices Garam Masala. Presumably we can infer from the order in which they are presented the approx proportions, but no more than that.

Coriander, cumin, turmeric, cinnamon, black pepper, cloves, ginger, dill seeds, cardamom.

I would like to obtain some Jalpur GM and will keep an eye on this thread to see what sources people might find. The manufacturer website is of source an option but postage appears relatively high.

Rajah Garam Masala
Ingredients:
 Coriander, Cumin, Ginger, Cinnamon, Pimento, Black Pepper,
Black Cardamoms, Cloves, Bay Leaves, Nutmeg

Nacto Garam Masala
Ingredients
Coriander, Cumin, Ginger, Cinnamon, Black Pepper, Cardamom, Cloves, Pimento, Bayleaves, Nutmeg

Now there is interesting, both Rajah and Nacto have the same ingredients ;D
Only difference being the cardamom, one black the other green, or a typing error

Hi Les

I take it that you have written the spices in the same order that they appeard on the packaging?
