Garam Masala
Ab CHF 12.–

Mixed and processed by hand
A genuine Swiss manufactory
Garam Masala was originally created to bring warmth and energy to dishes in the colder regions of northern India. The blend is traditionally used as an aromatic finish – especially for curries – to add warmth, depth and fragrant complexity to the pot right at the end. Coriander, cumin, cardamom, cinnamon, mace, nutmeg and long pepper merge into a spice composition that enchants dishes, makes your mouth water and sets your taste buds dancing. A touch of Garam Masala, and the whole dish gains intensity.

My tip: Garam Masala is best added only at the end or toasted briefly in butter/ghee – this way the complex aroma unfolds especially intensely.
Origin & Story
Garam Masala originally comes from northern India and has been an essential part of Indian cuisine for centuries. The name literally means "hot spice", yet it refers not to heat but to the warming properties of the spices it contains. Traditionally, Garam Masala is added at the end of the cooking process to give dishes their characteristic aromatic depth. Our blend is based on an authentic northern Indian recipe, developed by Tobias Funke and made 100% exclusively at the manufactory.
Highlights
Our Garam Masala impresses with a harmonious interplay of bold, warm spice notes. Coriander, cumin and long pepper form the aromatic base, while cardamom, cinnamon, mace and nutmeg provide the typical, warming sweetness. Cloves, star anise and bay leaves add extra aromatic depth, and Birds Eye chilli lends a subtle, pleasant heat. This exclusive recipe is developed solely by Tobias Funke and handcrafted at Manufaktur Funke.

Tip from Tobias Funke
"Garam Masala releases its full aroma best when you add it only towards the end of cooking – very typically with Butter Chicken. I recommend scattering the blend over the finished dish just before serving, or toasting it with a little butter or ghee. This way the complex aroma unfolds especially intensely."
Recommended use
- Ideal for northern Indian dishes such as Butter Chicken or curries with meat and vegetables
- Perfect as an aromatic finish for lentil dishes (dal) or vegetarian meals
- Excellent for seasoning grill marinades or rice dishes
- Finely dosed, also perfectly suited to soups and stews
