So grateful to have found this recipe since I can no longer find garam masala in my local supermarkets! Luckily, I had all the spices listed in this recipe, threw this together exactly as written, and used it in my crockpot chicken makhani. I can't say whether this is *traditional* garam masala, but I CAN say it worked wonderfully in my chicken makhani. For those of you who prefer the convenience of using pre-ground spices to make your garam masala, I highly recommend this recipe!

I thought I had this ready made spice mix in my pantry, so I didn't buy anymore at the store. When it was time to add it to the recipe, I couldn't find the jar. Luckily I had all the ingredients that your recipe called for! I easily mixed it up, and it saved the dish!!

Perfect! I had a little left and couldn't find it at my grocery store. I came home and made it from spices I already had in my kitchen, mixed it with the little store bought stuff I had left and VOILA! Perfect and easy!

Works very well! I just found bottles of (expensive) Garam Masala at a local store... I can't tell the difference. Thanks for a keeper!

I had a curry recipe that called for garam masala. I searched the grocery store endlessly (including bulk spices and specialty areas) with no luck. I was so happy to find this "quick fix" on Allrecipes. I thought this was the perfect blend of seasonings- the curry tasted delicious and authentic. I ground my own coriander because I only had whole on hand. Otherwise, left everything the same. Thanks for the recipe- I will use this from now on any time I need garam masala!

Soooooo good! Seems very close to what I get from our local Indian restaurant. I assume "ground pepper" means black peppercorns and not red pepper flakes or something else. (?)
