Cooking tips

Stir the contents of the pan while frying the spices to prevent them from burning.

Garam Masala is a common Indian spice. If you don't have it ready-made, you can make your own using 2 tablespoons cumin seeds, 2 tablespoons coriander seeds, 1 tablespoon cardamom seeds, 1 tablespoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon cloves, 2 teaspoons grated cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon grated nutmeg. Lightly toast the spices, except for the nutmeg, and grind them in a coffee grinder.
