Green Beans with Garam Masala

I’d like to try some exotic Indian cookery so I started with just one dry spice blend. I went with garam masala and sparingly sprinkled it on roasted vegetables. It’s inexpensive, simple and a great way to be introduced to Indian flavours without having to invest in a cupboard full of stuff you only use once.

Find it in the spice section of most grocery shops or make your own garam masala.
