Badia Garam Masala/Indian All Purpose Blend 4.25 oz Pack of 2

Two jars of Badia garam masala — the warm cardamom-clove-cinnamon blend that quietly earned a spot next to the comino and oregano in plenty of Cuban-American spice racks.

Ground fine and packed in the familiar Badia shaker, this is the Miami-bottled version of an Indian classic: cardamom, cinnamon, clove, cumin, black pepper, nutmeg. The pack of two is for cooks who already use it weekly and don't want to run out mid-recipe.

Common Uses: Rubbed onto pollo asado before the grill, stirred into bistec marinades with lime and garlic, dusted over roasted yuca or sweet potato, bloomed in oil to start a lentil stew, mixed into yogurt for a quick marinade.

Cultural Context: Badia is a Miami-Hialeah brand that built its catalog around Cuban kitchens but expanded into the wider spice world the diaspora actually cooks — which means garam masala next to the adobo, za'atar next to the sazón. This blend reflects how second- and third-generation cooks layer flavors their abuelas never used without abandoning the base.

Pairs With: Garlic, ginger, yogurt, basmati rice, roasted root vegetables, grilled chicken, lamb, lentils.

Common In: Cuban-American households nationwide, weeknight cooking, marinade prep.

Gluten-free, vegan, kosher. Ships nationwide — a practical two-pack for cooks who reach for it often.
