A nice alternative to Kitchari spice... and more. I use it in many things.

Love the spices and tang of this product.

Yum!

Love it! Delicious. And a nice change from the Kitchari spice blend. It's really good. Thanks!

Pure & Authentic

The taste of this is so pure without any additives. I have used many diffferent brands and this is the best one I have used in my cooking.

Delicious

I've used the garam masala spice several times now going by the recipe on the back of the pouch. I'm utilizing it for its Kapha reducing properties and its very delicious!

Excellent flavour, so like homemade.

The masala has best homemade flavour and enjoy using it in vegetables and pulao and other rice delicacies.

Garam Masala too spicy hot

I love Banyan products! I take several of your herbs and supplements, teas, etc., even the powder tooth cleanser. I really wanted to like the Garam Masala, but it is too hot for me; i would prefer to taste more of the flavor of the other spices rather than being overwhelmed by the hotness of red chili. I was expecting to be able to tell what mace and fenucreek add to the blend, since other garama masalas i have tried don’t include them! ;-) Maybe consider including a “hot spiciness” level (like mild, medium, hot, extra hot) in the bag so to have a reference of the hotness level? Thank you for making such amazing products and being committed to quality and love for the Earth and all creation. Thank you!:pray:

Hi Erica,
Thank you for your honest feedback and innovative ideas! We are sorry to hear this formula wasn't a good match for you. Please keep an eye on your email, as we will be reaching out to resolve this with you!

Too spicy. Not what I'm used to for Garam Masala.

WAY too much heat! I've been using garam masala for years, but never this brand. Red chili as the second ingredient makes it very hot. Too much for my dosha. I should've looked more closely at the ingredients but I was expecting something similar to what I've had in the past. Disappointed. I had to toss food, which I hate to do.

Greetings, Susan,

Thank you for your honest review of our Garam Masala. Your insights and opinions are valuable, and I agree the formula is quite heating.

I wanted to reach out both to thank you for your review, but also to offer a refund for your purchase since the product didn't work out for you in the end. However, I'm not able to find an order under susanpuiia@yahoo.com. Are you able to provide the order number, or a different email address you may have used to purchase your Garam Masala?

Looking forward to your reply at your convenience so we may provide you with a supportive resolution.

Good stuff for many dishes.

This is a classic formulation of mainly digestive herbs and spices. The ingredients are chosen to assist digestion and assimilation. Plus, the flavors are delightful, bringing out the tastes of whatever is being cooked. The powdered form is added near the end of the cooking time so as not to destroy their benefits.

Excellent Garam

This garam masala is spot on perfect! it is just like the Garam that an Indian family taught me, which brings back, fond memories of our time together. I love your idea of warming it in ghee and drizzling over a baked apple!

~~LOVE~~

We love this in our home. My first experience was with black beans and oh my! Now, I always have my black beans with garam masala. I noticed that a review below stated that it was too hot. In our experience (that is,my husband and myself) this version was indeed very warm in the mouth but once it hit our stomachs there was not a burning sensation that one might get from hot/spicy foods. My husband noted it by saying, "you know, this is hot in the mouth but almost soothing on the stomach. Warm, not hot." Just another viewpoint. This said, we have put this as a staple in our homes now, don't want to be without it and I'm enjoying experimenting with the many ways I can use it in my recipes. THANK YOU!

Thank you for your lovely feedback! We're glad you're enjoying the addition of Garam Masala in your recipes.

Spices like no other

The garam masala Is better than any I’ve used. That goes for all of Banyans spices including the cinnamon, cardamom and coriander seeds I bought recently. What a difference from other brands!

Garam Masala and Kitcheri

My Wife and I like to make Kitcheri and use Garam Masala for the main spices. We have bought it from other places before, even an Indian Market but have never found any as good as Banyan Botanicals version.
We buy all of our supplements, oils and spices form Banyan Botanicals. They are always of top quality and the delivery time is always very quick!

Hi Nicholas! Thank you for your kind review. It gives us absolute joy to know that the two of you are enjoying our organic spice mixes and other Banyan products! Bon appetit!

Moms garam masala

Great

Great flavor, I use it with lentils, rice, in vegan pumpkin soup, totally recommended

I see that your spices are gluten free. Can you tell me whether they are made on shared equipment with items that have either gluten or dairy?

Rachel Euell

To the best of our knowledge Banyan Botanicals bulk herbs and tablets are free of gluten, soy and dairy. The machines used to powder the herbs are only used to powder herbs and spices. However, we work with dozens of small farms and it is likely that some of them would be growing nuts, barley, oats, and wheat. The machines are all certified according to NOP and EU organic regulations regarding clean downs, batch to batch documentation, etc. Hope this helps!
