Garam Masala

Developed by celebrated chef Floyd Cardoz and his wife Barkha, this Garam Masala was Floyd’s personal take on one of Indian cooking’s most essential blends. Like every great garam masala, it’s deceptively simple yet deeply aromatic, built to add warmth and brightness rather than heat.

Cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, mace and star anise come together in a balanced, fragrant blend that’s just as comfortable in savory dishes as it is in sweet ones. Use it to finish dals, curries and vegetables, stir it into rice or lentils or add a pinch to baked goods, fruit or hot drinks. It’s the kind of spice blend that quietly transforms whatever it touches.

For the full Cardoz Legacy experience, pair this blend with With Love & Masalas, the debut cookbook by Barkha Cardoz. Filled with approachable Indian recipes drawn from the Cardoz family kitchen, the book shows how to put all 6 of the Cardoz Legacy masalas to work in everyday meals. Thoughtful guidance and flexible menus make it a welcoming companion for cooks of all levels.
