you can get it in the stores too but heres how to make it at home-----the literal meaning of garam masala is 'hot spice' (in the meaning of high temperature as opposed to its spiciness) . it is usually added towards the end of the cooking and used sparingly. Read more it is very common in indian dishes. there are many different recipes as it is also made at home ,but they all differ very slightly. See less
