AI Summary
The original post shares a personal blend of curry powder created with the help of a chef friend, who removed garam masala from the mix, suggesting its ingredients were already included in the other spices. Replies express skepticism about the absence of garam masala, with some participants suggesting that it contains more ingredients than those listed. However, the original poster remains confident in their chef friend's expertise and the validity of the mix.

h4ppys mix powder.
« on: December 28, 2012, 01:03 PM »
2 Tbsp curry powder (mild madras)
2 Tbsp corriander powder.
2 Tbsp turmeric powder.
1 Tbsp paprika powder.
1 Tbsp cumin powder.
1 Tsp chilli powder.

Anyone that tries my recipes, this is the mix powder i use.
How did i get to this blend? i had my chef friend look at what i was using, then he tweaked it.
One thing he did was to take out the garam massla and i asked why? he said you already have the garam massla ingredients in there.
I asked why do you use ready made curry powder (mild madras)? answer: it is one less job to do and as every thing he wants in it.

........but surely Garam Masala contains a darn sight more ingredients than the 6 listed?  ;)

A normal Mix Powder Chris, (well documented here).
Can't go wrong with that, if you trying to replicate Bangladeshi BIR

Maybe learn a bit of what Garam spices are, before you take someone's word for it. Also (well documented here).
cheers Chewy
