Masala is the Indian name given to a group of spices used to season various dishes. The ingredients to a masala can vary according to the style of dish required. Some masala are blended with a liquid, such as water or vinegar, to make a paste. that can be seen as the original curries. The vegetarian curries of southern India are the most pungent, often containing hot chillies. The classic, or Mughal, garam masala of northern
India contains only raw cardamom seeds, cinnamon, cloves, and black
pepper; variations on this mixture add coriander seeds and cumin seeds
but avoid hot or pungent ingredients. Lamb and poultry are common
features in the curries of the north. |
