In trying to create a curry that used British wild edibles rather than 'exotic' spices I needed a substitute for Garam Masala. This is the blend I eventually came up with that includes the following substitutes for the common Garam Masala spices:
Simply place all the ingredients in a clean coffee grinder and grind for at least a minute. Test the mixture by rubbing a sample between your fingers. You need a finely-ground mixture which should not feel gritty to the touch.
Spoon into an airtight container and store in a dark place such as a cupboard. Garam masala should always be added to food towards the end of cooking. It can also be used as a garnish for cooked meats, vegetables or yoghurts.
There you have a wild food masala that you can add to any curry.
