Garam masala (from Hindustani گرم مصالحہ/गरम मसल garam masālā, "hot spices") is a blend of ground spices originating from the Indian subcontinent. It is common in Indian, Pakistani, Nepalese, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan and Caribbean cuisines. It is used alone or with other seasonings.The specific fixings differ by district, but it regularly incorporates a blend of flavors like cardamom, cinnamon, cumin, cloves and peppercorns. Garam masala can be found in a wide range of dishes, including marinades, pickles, stews, and curries.[citation needed]
The composition of garam masala differs regionally, with many recipes across the Indian subcontinent according to regional and personal taste,[1] and none is considered more authentic than another. The components of the mix are roasted, then ground together or added to the dish for flavour just before finishing cooking.
Some recipes[3] call for the spices to be blended with herbs, while others call for the spices to be ground with water, vinegar, or other liquids to make a paste. Some recipes include nuts, onions or garlic, or small quantities of star anise, asafoetida, chili, stone flower (known as dagadphool, lichen), and kababchini (cubeb). The flavours may be blended to achieve a balanced effect, or a single flavour may be emphasized. A masala may be toasted before use to release its flavours and aromas.[1] In the east of the Indian subcontinent, in West Bengal, Orissa, Assam and Bangladesh only cardamom, cinnamon and clove may be substituted for the assortment.[citation needed]
I was at the grocery store debating whether I should get yams or sweet potatoes for my kandamool. A friendly woman was getting yams when she asked me if I had a recipe for roasted veggies. And before I knew it, I had so many vegetables in my shopping cart, for both the kandamool and the oven roasted veggies! I love both and I was hungry ?
Roasting vegetables and root vegetables or tubers, really brings out their deep flavor. And with the help of the right spices and seasonings, they are a treat! In some parts of India, vegetables are spiced, dredged in flour and shallow fried. I feel that roasting them satisfies my hankering for these shallow fried vegetables, called kachrya.
You can use your favorite veggies for this. I love root vegetables, so I got some Spanish root vegetables, yam, sweet potato,purple turnip, Brussel sprouts, broccoli and the sweet dumpling squash. With minimal prep work, the vegetables are ready for roasting, which makes it very easy to make. Also they can be prepped in advance and roasted just before dinner!
I started by preheating the oven to 425 degrees. The roasting time will depend on how big or thick you like your veggies. Since I like Spanish roots and was thinking of the yummy chips I love so much, I cut the veggies a little smaller, about inch thick. So my baking time was just 30 minutes. If you like the veggies a little thicker, the baking should take about 40 to 45 minutes.
Toss them in the extra virgin olive oil and the right spices and they are ready to roast! The resulting flavor is simply outstanding! In my opinion, this is the best way to eat broccoli too! It has tender stems and crispy baked florets. Yummy!
Thank you Marisa. I used a very mild garam masala ( some of the store bought ones can be very strong) I wanted the flavor of the vegetables to be dominant as I like roasted vegetables too. Hope you like them.Thank you so much for visiting and for your sweet words.
While I've never been much of an everyday meal planner, I can plan a holiday feast with the best of them. Thanksgiving dinner has always been my favorite meal of the year. Over the years I've collected Thanksgiving cookbooks, bought and saved the Thanksgiving issues of more magazines than I can count, and compiled favorite recipes from family and friends.
So most years, my carefully crafted menus are filed away to become inspiration for another year. But as we know, sometimes life has its own plans, and we wind up having Thanksgiving dinner at home, just the 5 of us plus a couple of guests. These are the years that my menus come to fruition.
No matter which scenario plays out, I wouldn't trade my Thanksgiving menu planning tradition for anything. It's part of what makes fall my favorite time of year. This year's location hasn't been decided yet, but I sure am excited at the prospects!
Hand-in-hand with the menu planning is a carefully organized shopping list. I divide it into columns, grouping together all the beautiful season produce in one, proteins in another, dry goods in one, and of course, the all important dairy column. Because let's face it, one can never stock up too much butter during the holiday season.
One of my themed menus this year is going to revolve around infusing Indian flavors into classic turkey day offerings. I'm thinking turkey that has been marinated in the style of Butter Chicken, with gravy that echos that rich, silky sauce...cauliflower roasted and tossed with turmeric...rice pudding infused with pumpkin, cardamom, and cinnamon as a dessert offering...and these utterly irresistible mashed sweet potatoes that are scented with garam masala and rich, nutty browned butter.
This side dish would actually fit in nicely at any Thanksgiving table, not just one with an Indian theme. I've never been the biggest fan of the overly sweet, marshmallow-topped side dish that is customary this time of year, so I'm always working out a recipe that I can actually stomach.
One of my favorite ways to tame the sweetness is to combine sweet potatoes with regular potatoes, like I've done here. Maple syrup enhances the natural sweetness, while the warming spices in the Garam Masala spice mix help keep the flavors grounded. But the real star is the browned butter, whose fragrance alone has been known to make grown men swoon.
I like to use Land O Lakes Unsalted Butter to achieve the delicious results, but if you've used up all of your butter in baking (remember when I said one can never stock up on too much butter?), salted butter will work just fine here, too; just hold off seasoning with extra salt until you've tasted the sweet potato mixture.
And if you really must have your sweet potatoes covered in marshmallows, then by all means, scatter a layer across the top and give them a quick run under the broiler. I'm guessing that the brown butter that gets drizzled over the top before serving will still be your favorite part.
Combine both types of potatoes in a large pot and cover with water by an inch. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cook until they are tender, 13-15 minutes; drain. Return them to the same pot set over lowest heat, shaking every once in a while, until the potatoes are dry, 3-5 minutes.
While the potatoes are cooking, place the butter in a small pan (preferably a light-colored metal pan) over medium heat. Once the butter melts, it will start to bubble and foam. Once it does this, stir or swirl often, until the milk solids have turned golden and start to smell nutty. This doesn't take very long, just a couple of minutes or so. As soon as this happens, pour the butter into a heatproof bowl, scraping out all of those browned bits, to stop the cooking.
Use a hand mixer to whip the potatoes. Add the half of the browned butter, milk, maple syrup, Garam Masala, salt and pepper to the pot, beating until combined. Transfer to a serving dish.
Drizzle the rest of the brown butter over the sweet potatoes and serve, sprinkled with a little more Garam Masala.
Notes:
As a nod to traditional sweet potato casserole, you can scatter a layer of mini marshmallows over the top of the dish after transferring to a (heatproof) serving dish. Set it under the broiler for a few seconds, until the marshmallows have turned golden. Finish with the final drizzle of brown butter and sprinkling of Garam Masala.
I made up this recipe at freezer-emptying time in early summer, when I found two containers of roasted, mashed winter squash in my deep-freeze, and needed the room for incoming garden-fresh goodies. It is based on a soup with a coconut undertone and Indian spices that I had eaten in a restaurant and wanted to try to emulate. My first pass went like this:
I USED this garam masala, from spicesandtease.com, but each brand will be a little (or a lot) different. I can tell you that this one is nothing like the supermarket bottled version, if your supermarket even sells garam masala.
Spices and Tease says their garam masala contains: Moroccan coriander; cardamom from Tamil Nadu, India; bay leaves; Tellicherry pepper; cinnamon; caraway; Zanzibar cloves; China #1 ginger, and nutmeg. A great place to order holiday gifts for friends who cook, whether squash soup or otherwise.
Hi Margaret. What are those long curved squash in the picture? Are they Trombetta di Albenga? If they are, can you cook them like any other winter squash? I have some and was wondering. I do eat them like a summer squash when they are small.
I just made your same soup using a store pumpkin my daughter gave me from halloween. I was surprised and happy to see you made the same soup this week. Yours will taste better since you used butternut squash, which is my favoritel I also used homemade garam masala. I love to cook and always try your recipes when they are in your newsletter.
Garam masala is a staple in South Asian cuisine and one that we can still enjoy as an alternative to garam masala purchased at the store. Homemade garam masala recipe is the first in our Flavors of Culture series.
My mom cooked our meals from scratch almost everyday. Initially, she had a hard time sourcing Pakistani ingredients but somehow she was always able to throw a meal together. I fondly remember rushing home on cold Chicago winter days, opening the door to scents of spices and onions frying in a warm pan.
Cooking became a way for my mom to preserve culture and connect to her distant home. The kitchen became her sanctuary. In time, she found a community of friends where gatherings always centered around food.
