08 Mar 31 Days of Global Flavors for National Nutrition Month: Day 8
Today is Day 8 of National Nutrition Month. Today registered dietitian Lexi Endicott is telling us about her favorite global flavor.
Garam Masala
I love using garam masala in sauces for baked fish, turkey, or beans. It’s also a delicious addition to roasted vegetables!
Garam masala is a spice blend commonly found in Indian, Nepalese, Bangladeshi, and Pakistani dishes. Garam masala is full of warming spices, and different brands and people use different spice combinations and ratios, which keeps flavors and dishes interesting. Garam masala is also packed with loads of antioxidant compounds that can help reduce inflammation and prevent certain diseases. Check out this recipe for Indian meatballs with raita yogurt sauce.
