Spice of the Fortnight (SOTF) #1: Garam Masala (beg. Sep. 18)
Posted on 9/12/17 at 9:37 pm
Posted on 9/12/17 at 9:37 pm
For those participating in our SOTF series, we shall start on Monday. Note each period is actually two weeks long, but "bi-week" isn't a word and Spice of the Fortnight just doesn't have the same ring to it. Our first selection will be garam masala, and I'd suggest the person who nominated the SOTF give participants a brief overview: where it hails from, what its components are (where applicable), what its taste profile is, which dishes typically feature it, and any interesting facts or history about the spice.
The only rule is that pictures and conversation are each strongly encouraged.

is the SOTW thread where people are going to use it and post about it? Or are we just getting some knowledge on a spice that's maybe not in our kitchen yet?
Look forward to it regardless

Yes, this is the thread where people will discuss recipes using the spice and post pictures of their creations.

Hopefully this thread will not only share uses and knowledge of spices and herbs, but also recipes with pics, which I'll be very much involved in.

Good catch

Considering all the other unique anagrams on TD, SOTF isn't that much of a stretch.

Alright, the masses have spoken. Spice of the Fortnight it is.

Cool. I cook with this one allot. I like tumeric with it, but the wife says I have to cook outside on the grill or hot plate if I cook Indian food.

I have a jar of McCormick's but rarely use it. I can't remember the original reason for purchasing it but I was probably making some derivative of curry. The most recent application I can recall was adding it to rib rub. I added 1tsp garam masala to 1/2cup rib rub. I use Meatheads Memphis Dust as a base and then personalize it. The addition of the garam masala required a marginal increase in the quantity of sugars to accentuate the sweet spices. I'm going to play with it a little more and see how it works as an alternative to jerk seasoning in the Killer Hog rub recipe. Thanks for starting this new venture off on a good (spice) note!

Thanks for the contribution. Looking forward to hearing how your recipe evolves.
What's everyone thinking in terms of recipes for the garam masala?

I have a question/request...
Why are we waiting until the 18th? Sure, let's run each ingredient on a two week cycle, but let's get the party started on Garam Masala. I wanted to post and then saw that it won't begin for a few days.
We can still start each week on a Monday.
Please kind RedStickBR Sir, open up an official thread on Garam Masala and I might be able to have a post up as soon as tomorrow night.

If I've ever cooked with garam masala, it was only once. Might I have used it in a recipe for Rogan Josh?
I'm still deciding what I'll make. I saw a recipe for Butter Chicken that looked interesting, but really I'm not sure!

I used it my roasted cauliflower last night. Tossed it first with some olive oil then hit it with red pepper flake, sea salt and garam masala. It was very simeple and came out delicious.

I use it on French fries.....

By all means, go ahead and start. This first Fortnight will just be a few days longer. Post away

Butter chicken and aloo gobi seem to be the most popular garam masala dishes
Posted on 9/14/17 at 4:49 pm to RedStickBR
So will this be the thread or will you be starting another one?
