Garam Masala is a versatile spice that can be used for a variety of recipes. It’s a staple ingredient used in most Indian dishes. Made with a blend of traditional Indian spices, it combines many different aromas and flavours – all in a single powder!
Some of the most common spices used in garam masala powder include black and green cardamom, cumin, black pepper, cloves, cinnamon, and cloves and each family has its own closely guarded garam masala recipe. Some garam masala recipes may involve dry roasting the ingredients before grinding to extract the best flavour. This powder can be added to a cooking base or sprinkled at the end to take the dish to the next level. Garam masala is also used along with other spices to create a marinade for various dishes as well.

Licious Asli Garam Masala
The Licious Asli Garam Masala is perfect for cooking your favourite desi recipes and can be used to whip up many other curries as well.
Different families have versions of their own garam masala. Here is the LICIOUS version. We have very carefully crafted and customised the combination and proportions of various aromatic spices like green cardamom, clove, mace, and cinnamon with the aim to give a well balanced and flavoursome blend.
Our combination of ingredients is inspired by the age-old traditions where grandmothers carefully selected each spice and ground it to make their own secret garam masala.
The spices are ground at very cold temperatures using cryogrinding technology, which helps lock-in the aroma and flavour of the spices by maintaining the loss of essential oils. Our expertise in meat helped us ensure that the formulation enhances the flavours of every meat or seafood delicacy.
