Garam Masala

A ground blend of warming whole spices from certified organic farms, steam-sterilised, with no added colour, preservative or flavour enhancer. Garam masala is a finishing blend rather than a base one — the aromatics are volatile, so it goes in near the end of cooking rather than into the hot oil at the start, which is the single most common mistake people make with it. The claim that matters most in this category is what has been left out. Commercial masala blends routinely carry anti-caking agents, artificial colour, and monosodium glutamate or other flavour enhancers to compensate for thin spice content; a blend built from certified organic whole spices with none of that is doing something harder. Pure & Sure tests each harvest against 250+ pesticide residues in NABL and ISO 17025 accredited laboratories. One gap worth closing before listing: the exact component spices and their proportions are not published, so we cannot itemise the blend for anyone avoiding a specific spice.
