For a deeper flavor, consider using a mortar and pestle to grind the spices by hand. This method releases more of the essential oils. Adjust the quantity of each spice to suit your personal preference. Feel free to experiment! This garam masala is particularly well-suited for dishes featuring lamb, chicken, or root vegetables.
