Kerala Garam Masala
Description
Kerala garam masala is a distinctive spice blend from the state of Kerala, often referred to as the "Spice Garden of India." Unlike its more widely known North Indian counterpart, Kerala garam masala has a unique aromatic profile that is a reflection of the region's abundant spice plantations and regional cuisine.

Instructions

Thanks for sharing this wonderful combination of spices. We tried this time and found very useful with the spices we bought from Kerala through http://www.trupery.com was totally fresh and authentic.
Measuring whole spices in ‘tablespoons’ is hardly accurate, whether or not the same tablespoon is used for all the spices. Star anise, for one, cinnamon sticks also (they vary in size very much.). The image gives some indication, but two different cooks will come up with two different mixtures
