This "garam masala" (Hindi: "hot spice") lives up to its name: it has a good heat without the other spices taking a back seat in terms of taste. Our partners in Kerala have developed this blend of black pepper, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, mace, nutmeg and chili powder especially for us.

Taste and use
This is what makes the spice blend "Garam Masala" from Kerala so special:
- Taste: An intense but harmonious spice blend of medium heat with a rather sweet note (cardamom, cinnamon, cloves). Broader flavor bouquet than the "Red Curry" spice blend.
- Quality features: The spice blend "Garam Masala" contains black pepper, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, mace, nutmeg and chili powder, which were grown in the forest gardens of our partners in Kerala without the use of pesticides.
- Use: Sauté the spice mixture in oil for 1-2 minutes, add various ingredients to your taste (e.g. onions, vegetables, tofu) and season the dish with a little coconut milk if desired. Gandhakasala rice, for example, goes well with this dish.
Cultivation and ecology
This is how the spices are grown:
- Cultivation method: Cultivation in multi-stage agroforestry systems, without the use of pesticides. These spices are grown in the beautiful forest gardens of our partners in Kerala. Various spices, cashews, coconut palms, fruits and vegetables grow in the fields here. This type of agriculture protects biodiversity and is also climate-friendly: a lot of CO2 is stored in the soil and trees and there is almost no need for aids such as machines and fertilizers.
- Producers: The small farms of the members of the "Fair Trade Alliance Kerala" are on average just one hectare in size. The farmers grow a wide variety of products for export, for the local village markets, but also for themselves. Many have an additional income because family members work in the city or even abroad and support the farming families.

Wow, what a wonderful, balanced explosion of flavor I and my guest experienced when we tasted this garam masala for the first time. Simply divine, all the spices in the mouth are coated with a very pleasant spiciness that caresses the throat in the finish.
