Tasting Notes
We use this Shahi Punjabi Garam Masala in every dish that calls for garam masala. It has exceptional flavor and balance, and is superior to all other garam masalas that we have tried.
Garam masala is a finishing spice—meaning it's added at the very end of cooking, just before serving. Why? Because garam masala's magic lies in its aromatic oils, which are delicate and volatile. High heat or prolonged cooking drives off these precious aromatics. A light sprinkle in the final moments allows the spices to bloom gently in the residual heat, releasing their full fragrance and warmth into the dish.
Aroma: Rich, heady, and unmistakably royal. Warm waves of cardamom and cinnamon rise first, followed by the earthy depth of cumin and the subtle sweetness of cloves. There's a complexity here that unfolds slowly—each inhale reveals another layer.
Flavor: Bold yet balanced. The warmth hits the palate without overwhelming it—peppery notes mingle with the gentle heat of cinnamon and the floral punch of green cardamom. A whisper of mace and nutmeg adds a refined, almost creamy undertone that sets the "Shahi" (royal) apart from everyday blends.
Best used: Stirred into finished curries, daals, biryanis, and vegetable dishes. A pinch transforms a simple dish into something aromatic and deeply satisfying.
