So last night I was making lamb meatballs in green curry sauce and mom was in town and her phone was dead. I realized that we were out of garam masala (which is like the most essential spice in the whole recipe) so I called grandma freaking out! I was half through the recipe and couldn't save it for later. So grandma googled for me and we came across this recipe that worked pretty well!
Garam Masala:
1 Tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom (I have no idea what this is and we didn't have it so I made it without cardamom)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Grind all the ingredients in a spice grinder and walla! A substitute for garam masala! :)
