It's typically made with at least eight spices, with some recipes ranging up to over a dozen."  "The word garam means "hot" while masala means "Spices". But those words aren't meant to imply that garam masala is always spicy. Instead they refer to the more warming spices common in garam masala blends like cinnamon, nutmeg, and mace. They add subtle sweetness and floral notes, completed with a hint of heat from black peppercorns and /or dry red chilies." (SOurce: https//www.allrecipes.com/article/what-is-garam-masala) What's in this blend? Cinnamon, coriander, ginger, white pepper, cardamom, allspice, black pepper, nutmeg, cumin, bay leaves.
