Notes
If you cannot find garam masala in your grocery store, you can easily make it at home. Just mix the following spices together: 1 tablespoon ground cumin, 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom, 1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg and 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves.
