Hmm. Tandoori spice vs. garam masala. Both are certainly not interchangeable. These are the differences between the two - Nutmeg Powder— Nutmeg enriches the masala with its distinctive warm and nutty flavor and also with its added citrusy notes.

A medley of whole and powdered Indian spices that give it a distinct texture and taste. Here is the complete list - That tang has to come from somewhere. Cheaper blends use citric acid. The better ones use amchoor. I’m going with amchoor.

Does that taste like tandoori? No? Same stuff. Zero added flavour. Literally. Pure cosmetics. That’s the awesome version. Maybe not for the faint of heart though. So the watered down version uses food colouring.Cinnamon— Cinnamon is known for its distinct sweetness and unique flavor, besides its amazingly unique aroma that takes the dish to the next level.

Garlic Powder— It brings a mild flavor and aroma to the masala. You can use homemade garlic powder, too, for this recipe. There’s a time and place for everything. Your kitchen is the place. This is the time. Tandoori masala is so worth the effort. Try it. You’ll see. Small batches are best for tandoori masala I love cooking with spice, not necessarily heat. It’s important to me that my kids recognize and appreciate different flavours; tolerating the heat is never the focus. When it comes to great quality spices, I turn to Kissan.

📖 Recipe

Ginger Powder— Adds an intense aroma and a slightly pungent flavor to the masala. You can use freshly ground ginger powder for this masala recipe. I’m not sure it’s possible to overstate how big a deal freshly ground spices are. Game changer. Mind blower even. Huge. I don’t know where it started. It has to be bright red/orange or it’s not tandoori. Why is that even a thing?
