Garam Masala
Garam Masala literally means hot spice, and is a blend of several dry roasted, ground spices including cardamom, coriander, cumin, cloves, cinnamon and black pepper. It is used in the colder Northern Indian areas and has no chillies in it, as these cause perspiration which in effect cools the body. Its name then means the opposite of the effect it imparts, as it creates a subtle, warming taste when added to foods.
