Here are a few Garam Masala recipes that i have used in the past. Have not
made any notes on any of the recipes though. usually do that in ink on the
paper version and sometimes forget to write them into Mastercook.

All work quite well, depending on how much of some ingredients you like
more - fenugreek, chiles, etc.
