MDH Garam Masala (Blend of Spices), 3.5-Ounce Boxes

I can't find Garam Masala locally so I turned to Amazon. After reading reviews of various Garam Masala spice blends I saw frequent complaints of spices being stale or too strong in one flavor (e.g. Cumin). Given the postive reviews and reasonable size/price (I don't need a pound of Garam Masala) I decided to give MDH a try. I was pleased when received that it was wrapped in plastic and had a best if used by date on the package. Upon opening the spices were fragrant and when used to make Butter Chicken in my Instant Pot I was extremely pleased with the results. Will definitely be buying this again.

My favorite Indian restaurant's owner recommended these spice mixes and boy did she do me a favor! I brown eight boneless chicken thighs, then toss in a big can of diced tomatoes, the can's worth of chick broth if I have it or water if not, and a bunch of chopped onion, garlic and bell peppers. Sprinkle about two tablespoons of this spice mix over all and stir to combine. Put a lid on your skillet and turn the heat to medium, stirring occasionally. Cook about 30 minutes (long enough for rice to cook and a salad to be made. Right before serving the chicken stir in a tablespoon of butter. This makes a big difference in the finished sauce. A fabulous dinner fit for company in less time than a pizza can be delivered. You'll think a Mumbai grandmother was cooking in your kitchen all day. Spicy and fabulous!

I’ve never been into curry, but found a good recipe and used this garam masala. Love it! I always get compliments and requests for the recipe. Good value for great flavor.

If you're on a budget or can't find your usual brand this will do in a pinch. I find it tasted best on liver dishes. But it worked well with my chicken curry, although I could taste the difference. I will buy again if my usual brand is out of stock, unless I find something better.

Very good product

The space is very hard to find where I live in Virginia. It’s one of my favorite spices to use butter chicken with. My kids are really picky eaters enjoy it as well. I love that the flavors are so deep and strong. It really marinates deeply and brings flavors to the bones.

The best Garam Masala I have ever tried. I even put it in my Omelet, wow, I don't ever eat eggs without it now.

I had my first purchase from a store and found it works well in indian style food or simply air fried chicken with the this blend of spices. I cannot find this in stores here nearby my new home, then I found it on Amazon but the price is much more expensive though I have still bought two boxes which will be good enough for a long time.
