Garam masala is a spice blend widely used in Indian cuisine, from curries and lentil dishes to soups. Whole spices of cinnamon, mace, peppercorns, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and cardamom pods are toasted in a pan to release their aromatic flavours, then ground to a powder. It’s high in fibre content, which reduces calorie intake, and it’s a natural metabolism booster. It helps break down fat cells and is high in vitamin K and manganese, which also helps break down fats and carbs.
