Tonight I tried a new recipe that a friend has made for me; Aloo Gobi.
It's a vegetarian Indian dish.
Upon starting the recipe I realized I lacked several major ingredients?
Anyone surprised?
Anyone surprised?
I sort of was even though I shouldn't have been.
And what the heck is Garam Marsala?
Well after a little research I thought MSG would be a suitable substitute.
And many others were made. But it was yummy!

Garam Masala is a lot different than MSG, although it appears very easy to make a batch of it. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
This easy-to-make spice blend is the heart of most Indian dishes. A combination of different spices, it probably has as many recipes as there are families in India! Here is a basic one. Once you get a feel for the taste it gives your cooking, experiment and alter it to suit your needs.
Garam masala is best made fresh just before you begin cooking, but if you haven’t got the patience (like me!), make a batch ahead and store for several months in an air-tight container in a cool, dark place.
