and moist unlike tandoori which is drier. Marinated tikka chicken is put in a butter

Garam
Masala or Blend - Garam (warming) masala is the most important blend of spices and

Freshly
prepared ginger, garlic and (green chilies - optional) are a must
in Indian barbecues -but rarely is it convenient in todays fast moving lifestyle.
Indian homes generally have prepared pureed ginger, garlic and green chilies handy in the
refrigerator - as it is such an integral part of Indian cooking. Powdered ginger and
garlic are poor substitutes, as it lacks the juice and the crispness of fresh ginger. The
time taken to peel and chop your ginger and garlic or to compromise your recipe, is saved
with this very simple solution, pureed ginger and garlic in a jar. These may
also be used in any Asian stir fry dishes or to flavor soups, lentils and beans.
