Whole spices

Khada Masala

Generic whole-spice mix; no spoon or piece conversion specified.

Ground spices lose the whole-spice aroma, so nothing is an exact replacement.

• 
  Garam masala

  For whole garam masala spices, use 1 g garam masala for 2 g whole spices; add near the end, as it is stronger and less aromatic.

• 
  Ground cinnamon (cassia)

  For cinnamon stick, use 1 g ground for 2 g whole; add early with liquid rather than to hot oil.

• 
  Ground cardamom

  For whole cardamom, use 1 g ground for 2 g whole; add near the end to keep the aroma.
