Garam Masala Powder Recipe-Kerala Style

February 11, 2014 by PadhuSankar 16 Comments

Each state has its own spice mix or masala powder. Nothing can beat the flavor and aroma of homemade masala powder. Today I am sharing with you Kerala style garam masala powder as my next post is the most popular kadala curry of Kerala. I have used only this garam masala powder to prepare kadala curry.This masala powder is used for most of the Kerala dishes including non vegetarian dishes. I have given the names of the ingredients in Malayalam also. Now to the Garam masala recipe (Kerala Style)-

Dry roast all the other ingredients until you get a nice aroma of roasted spices.

    Dear Padhu,

    In the picture of the recipe, you have shown 6 ingredients, where as in writing, you have mentioned only 5. Where has the 6th one gone?- Kiran Tendle, Mumbai.

      The sixth one in the center is the garam masala powder. I have written that in the caption below that picture.

    Dear Padhu. I have a question to the total yield. You have written, the total yield is a 1/2 cup but the ingredients show 1 cup only for the fennel seeds. Which one is correct? 🙂

      When you roast it and powder it, quantity will reduce. It will come to approximately 1/2 cup heaped -3/4 cup not more than that. I will update it. Thank you.
