$11.99Sold by Burlap & Barrel
Developed by celebrated chef Floyd Cardoz and his wife Barkha , this Garam Masala was Floyd’s personal take on one of Indian cooking’s most essential blends. Like every great garam masala, it’s deceptively simple yet deeply aromatic, built to add warmth and brightness rather than heat. Cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, mace and star anise come together in a balanced, fragrant blend that’s just as comfortable in savory dishes as it is in sweet ones. Use it to finish dals, curries and vegetables, stir it into rice or lentils or add a pinch to baked goods, fruit or hot drinks.

Burlap & Barrel Smoked Black Cardamom
Our Smoked Black Cardamom is a complex spice beloved across South and Central Asia. A larger cousin of cardamom, these pods are pink and purple when fresh, and they turn black as they're smoked over an open fire. The flavor is more resinous and bold than that of its softer, sweeter cousins yellow or green cardamom, and it's at its best in dishes that cook for hours, so its flavor can soften and meld with the other spices (it pairs well with citrus). Our Smoked Black Cardamom is ground for easy use. Sprinkle into stews, lentils and sauces for an irresistible smoky, herbal flavor.
Burlap & Barrel Cinnamon Cardamom & Ginger Spiced Sprinkles

Real Royal Cinnamon, Buffalo Ginger and fragrant Cloud Forest Cardamom are mixed directly into the dough, creating gentle heat, warmth and depth. The sweetness is balanced and intentional, letting the spices do the talking instead of getting lost in sugar.
