Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- What is Fudco Whole Garam Masala used for?
- Whole garam masala is used at the very beginning of cooking. You fry the whole spices in hot oil or ghee to release their essential oils, creating a rich, deeply aromatic base oil for curries, gravies, rice dishes like biryani and pulao, and lentil stews.
- Can I grind these whole spices into a powder?
- Yes! You can lightly dry-roast these whole spices in a pan for a couple of minutes until fragrant, let them cool, and grind them in a spice grinder to create your own fresh, potent garam masala powder.
- Are the spices whole or pre-ground?
- This product consists entirely of whole spices (quills, pods, seeds, and leaves), which guarantees a much longer shelf life and superior aroma retention compared to pre-ground powders.
- How should I store the pack after opening?
- Whole spices quickly lose their volatile aromatic oils if exposed to humidity and air. To keep them fresh and potent, transfer the contents into a clean, airtight glass jar and store it in a cool, dark pantry.
