Kerala Garam Masala (Masala Podi)
Garam Masala is widely available in most stores that supply Indian spices. However, for those of us that are proud of our Delicious Malabar Cuisine, store-bought Garam Masala is a strict No-No! This blend does not include, cumin, coriander, mace, or black cardamom.
They may be great for making your Tikkas and Other Delicious Northern Styled Curries. But for the touch of ‘Malabar’ in your Curries and Rice dishes, try my homemade (family heirloom recipe) Garam Masala, taught to me by my Mother in law.
I use this extensively in my day-to-day cooking, as well as for festive dishes. Check below for some recipes that incorporate this Kerala Garam Masala, for an idea of how it is used.

Hi Shana, first of all Thank You for this garam masala recipe. My mother also made garam masala like this, but when she passed away i lost so many things. i searched so many blogs for this kind of recipe and at last i got it here. Oh the smell of the spices…….yes this the same kind of garam masala which my mother used to make.
Thank You so much Shana for sharing this recipe.
God Bless You.
Hi Jaya,
Thank you. I am touched by your comment. I understand & I’m happy if this is what you were looking for. This Garam Masala is great for making my Chicken Curry or Beef Curry as well as many more. Store brought Garam Masala or other styles just do not give it our Nadan Touch. This recipe is actually taught to me by my mother too. 🙂
