In Praise of " Garam Masala "

If you are a connoisseur of good food and taste , then one of the relishing diets has to be Indian.
Indian food has a very large assortment of spices and therefore gives an aromatic flavour.
One such spice is " Garam Masala" ( GM)
This is unique mixture of six different spices , made as follows.
2 tablespoons cumin seeds 2 tablespoons coriander seeds 2 tablespoons cardamom seeds 2 tablespoons black peppercorns 1 (3-inch) stick cinnamon, broken up 1 teaspoon whole cloves 1 teaspoon grated nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon saffron (optional) Put the cumin, coriander, cardamom, peppercorns, cinnamon, and cloves in a dry heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Toast the spices, stirring occasionally, until they turn several shades darker and give off a sweet smoky aroma, about 10 minutes. Do not raise the heat to quicken the process, or the spices will brown prematurely, leaving the insides undercooked. Cool completely.
Working in batches if necessary, transfer the mixture to a spice mill or coffee grinder and grind to a powder. Stir in the nutmeg and saffron. Use immediately or store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.

This only one ingredient makes all the difference in cooking. Other then India, Pak and Bangladesh, the rest of the world still does not have an equivalent spice.

I am hoping someday, I can launch this new spice and bring this flavour to the rest of the world.

In Indonesia, where I live now, the words would mean " Salty Problems " and hence GM is a total run down.

I am still trying to figure out, what would be a good Brand. Any suggestions?
