Frequently Asked Questions

How is Shan Garam Masala different from Indian brands like MDH or Everest? Shan’s garam masala reflects a Pakistani spice tradition with particular emphasis on cardamom depth and aromatic warmth — the exact proportions and included spices differ subtly but produce a distinctly Pakistani character.

Should I add garam masala at the beginning or end of cooking? Always at the end — add in the final 5 minutes of cooking for maximum aroma. The volatile compounds that create garam masala’s characteristic fragrance evaporate with prolonged heat exposure.

How much garam masala should I use per dish? A pinch to 1 teaspoon is usually sufficient for most dishes serving 4 — garam masala is potent and too much can overwhelm other flavors in a dish.
