recipe
snackgirl asked: I'm making the Kofta tomorrow night, but I don't have the garam marsala spice and either does my local store. I do see a few substitutions online. Can you suggest a good substitution blend?
Garam masala is a blend of spices. You can actually make your own blend. It usually consists of (ground) cardamom, cumin, black pepper, coriander, clove and cinnamon. The Kofta recipe already calls for some of these spices, so consider adding more of each and wing it (allspice, nutmeg). I would say that cumin and cinnamon are the two spices most important in this particular dish, but just think of the wonderful aroma many curries emit and that will help in winging it. Curries are very personal!
