Garam Masala
£2.60 / 12 x 35g jar
Steenbergs Organic Garam Masala is a classic rendition of this staple Indian spice blend. Garam masala is a traditional Indian blend of spices that is one of the basic spice mixes of Indian cookery. Every household and region has their own versions of garam masala. According to Ayurvedic texts only those spices that heat the body should be used, e.g. black cardamom , black pepper , cinnamon , nutmeg , black cumin , mace , cloves and bay leaves , since these are the hot spices or garam masala spices.
Steenbergs Organic Garam Masala is almost a sweet blend based around Punjabi recipes that lacks the characteristic "curry" notes of cumin , coriander and turmeric , making it a very versatile organic curry/spice blend. Steenbergs Organic Garam Masala comprises the sweet spice - cinnamon - and the pungent spices - caraway , cloves and cardamom powder . At Steenbergs we add some wonderful organic black pepper from organic growers in the Palghat region of Kerala in India to give it some bite. Then Axel Steenberg has used organic fennel seeds to bring the flavours together and add some anise tones to the blend.
Steenbergs Organic Garam Masala is hand blended in small batches by Steenbergs Organic at Steenbergs spice godown in North Yorkshire.
Add this organic garam masala towards the end of cooking, as an interesting and subtle addition to a curry at the end, in daal or to spice up some vegetables, perfect for those wanting an Indian spice flavour without wanting any spice heat like a mild coconut curry.

Collective shopping is a revolutionary new idea. The aim of the game is that collectively, we can order enough shares of a given product in order to buy it in bulk from our suppliers.
- Use the blue quantity adjustment buttons to adjust how many shares you would like buy.
- Use the pink "extra maybe" buttons to indicate how many shares you would be willing to buy in order to make up the required number of shares and complete the set. These will be discarded if other people contribute enough shares.
- If the price is marked with an asterisk, e.g. £1.50*, then the final price charged may vary slightly depending on the product received from the supplier.
- Red shares are available to fill and show that the set has not yet been started.
- Amber shares may be fulfilled if more comrades contribute shares to the set.
- Green shares indicate that the set has been completed and orders will definitely be fulfilled. Empty green shares show either that we have the item in stock so we can also definitely fulfil any orders placed or that only 1 share is need to complete the set.
- If the avatar is faded this indicates an 'extra maybe' share.
IMPORTANT - Once you have added a product to your order, there is not a secondary confirmation stage such as a checkout. Instead, each item has an order deadline which varies by supplier. Any items in your order (basket/cart) will be automatically ordered and confirmed once the deadline for that item has passed and you will not be able to make any amendments for that item after that time. If you wish to amend an order, you will need to do so before the deadline for that product has ended. If, for whatever reason you need to cancel your order, please get in touch with us via email.
