Common Questions
Is Garam Masala spicy?
Not hot — it’s warm and aromatic with subtle sweetness, not a chili-heavy burn.
Do I use it at the start or end of cooking?
Traditionally at the end. Cooking it too long can make the delicate aromatics go bitter.
Does it replace curry powder?
No — curry powder is a broad base, while Garam Masala is a deeper, more aromatic finisher.
