For all the Pakistani food lovers, here is my most sort after spice mix recipe on the blog, Pakistani Garam Masala! I make this all time time and use it for all my North-Indian recipes too.
Every South-Asian family has their blend of garam masala recipe but being a south Indian, I make batches of this Pakistani garam masala recipe more than our own. I go through a jar in a few months because I use it in all the North Indan dishes too. It is more or less the same basic ingredients and you should already know we both are a sucker for Pakistani food.
Whole spices are measured, ground and popped into airtight jars. I don't roast them to increase their shelf-life. Use it as a finishing spice to curries and biryanis for that oomph factor.
