Century Garam Masala is a classic Nepali spice blend made from roasted and ground spices like cumin, cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves. It gives warmth and aroma to any curry or stir-fry. Use a small spoon while making chicken curry, dal, or aloo tama. It’s also common in Nepali homes during Dashain and Tihar for that rich, homely flavor.

Origin Story:
In Nepal, garam masala is often mixed at home with freshly roasted spices, each family giving it their own touch — some add jayatri (mace), others more elaichi (cardamom). During big festivals like Dashain, it’s the spice that brings the whole kitchen alive with smell of masu ko jhol (meat curry).
