Kerala Garam Masala
Kerala Garam Masala
Pair the Garam masala with Moroccan Preserved Meyer Lemon Paste to make a very memorable apple pie or apple Galette.
The Lemon paste replaces lemon juice and zest in any standard apple pie recipe and in parts, more complex, complexity and depth of flavor. You can macerate and marinate the apples in the Moroccan paste and sugar a day before baking to soften the fruit and draw out the flavors.
Originally a Mughal-era spice blend, the Kerala regional variant of garam masala leans heavily on aromatic toasted fennel. It can be used for a coconut or tomato based curry, incorporated into a marinade for butter chicken or fish, or even incorporated into a paella (there are traces of Portuguese influence). Our take on this delicious spice blend is very mild, though this is easily remedied with a pinch of cayenne.
Ingredients: fennel, cardamom, clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, and anise.
