Masala – Blends by Ingo Holland

A masala is a spice blend from Indian cuisine, which, translated from Hindi, means nothing more than "hot ingredient" or "spicy seasoning." However, Indian dishes such as Garam Masala, Tikka Masala, or Tandoori Masala are well-known to us, and thus Ingo Holland has also named his Masala spice blends from Altes Gewürzamt. During the colonial period, the word Masala was first adopted into English and then into German usage.
