Garam masala: (garam ("hot") and masala (a mixture of spices)) is a blend of ground spices common in India and other South Asian cuisines. It is used alone or with other seasonings. The word garam refers to "heating the body" in the Ayurvedic sense of the word, as these spices are believed to elevate body temperature in Ayurvedic medicine. (Source: Wikipedia)
The ingredients of garam masala differs regionally and also as per personal taste. I used to prepare garam masala at home since the store bought ones are on spicier side. So this one is a mild garam masala with just the basic ingredients.
