My MIL's original recipe is given below. But that proportion is too big for me so I always make this masala in a small quantity.Gujarati Garam Masala
Ingredients
1/4 cup Coriander seeds
1 tbsp cumin seeds
1/2 stick of cinnamon
1/2 tbsp black peppercorns
1 tsp cloves
2 bay leaves, torn
Method
1. Roast all the spices one after the other.
2. Grind in a spice or coffee grinder.
3. Store in an airtight container.
My MIL's Gujarati Garam Masala on a big scale -
2 kg coriander seeds
500 gm cumin seeds
100 gm mixture of cinnamon, peppercorn, cloves and bay leaves
Follow the same method as above.

My MIL parcels our annual GM for us. She uses up so many spices all thrown in yet output -same every single time!nearly 12-15 spices are roasted n powdered by her!
THis recipe of GGM is simple n can feel the aroma from your pic! Tks for sharing so many varieties ! (This is your 630th post at EIF! Congrats!)

I agree with you. It also remain more fragrant for a long time if made in smaller quantity. Isn't it?
Lena:
I depend on my mom for goda masala and on my MIL for tea masala, pickle masala etc!!:-D
Ammu:
Thanks for your kind words. I think homemade powders are more aromatic, isn't it?
Purnima:
Wow. 12-15 spices? That's cool. Actually, even goda masala is like that. Mom sends me every time, so I have never made it home. But i must admit, that I have collected all the required spices for making goda masala at home from my India trip from mystic nagkeshar to dagadphool - I have it all. but I don't have courage to make it at home. I feel I will spoil it.
