Every Indian cookery book I have read tells you to avoid the commercially produced garam masala mixes as their recipes have no traditional merit.

So, how does "traditional merit" taste? Gene Nygaard 17:44, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Garam masala vs. Curry

What is the difference between this mix and curry? Is it just the hot chili powder? Is garam masala basically just hot curry?

Check the article curry for starters. Curry is a very ambiguous term with a number of different meanings including a spice mixture, a powder, a certain leaf/plant, a sauce, a dish made with a curry sauce, etc. Garam masala is a very specific spice mixture. It may even be in some dishes that people would call a curry. - Taxman ^Talk 19:43, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
