Garam masala is an Indian spice mixture used in many dishes from meats and poultry to vegetables. You can buy this spice in Indian grocery stores or online or try one of the many recipes available to make your own. The term translated means "hot spices". While many versions are not all that "hot" it is quite aromatic and should not be overused.
