Many years ago, I had the wonderful experience of enjoying a number of East Indian dishes prepared by an Indian woman - and garam masala was a staple "spice."<BR/><BR/>I've never been happy with the commercially purchased garam masalas - now that I know what makes it up, I can make my own until I'm happy!<BR/><BR/>And Fergy - ground bay leaves are great. If you ever make your own soups - grind those bay leaves. Split Yellow pea soup with a good volume of ground bay leaves is very tasty. The flavour of the bay leaves is imparted to the soup far better than whole bay leaves that are later removed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5498332469430544166.post-70907482423596200822007-03-20T19:44:00.000-04:002007-03-20T19:44:00.000-04:00Thanks!
