Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between garam masala and curry powder?

Garam masala is a warming spice blend used as a finishing spice, typically containing cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and cumin. Curry powder is a base blend with turmeric, coriander, cumin, and chilli used throughout cooking. Both have distinct uses.

Can I make my own spice blends instead of buying ready-made?

Yes, you can blend individual spices for custom flavour. However, ready-made masalas offer convenience, consistent results, and authentic proportions perfected by trusted brands. Many cooks use both depending on time and dish.

How should I store spice mixes and blends?

Store in airtight containers away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Spice blends are best used within 6-12 months for optimal aroma and flavour.

Which masala should I use for biryani?

Use biryani masala specifically formulated for rice dishes, containing aromatic spices like cardamom, bay leaves, and sometimes saffron. This provides authentic biryani flavour and aroma.

What is chaat masala used for?

Chaat masala is a tangy spice blend with amchoor, black salt, and cumin, used for Indian street food (chaat), fruit salads, snacks, and as a finishing seasoning for pakoras and samosas.
