The Gujarati Garam Masala slightly differes from the Maharashtraian or the Punjabi Garam Masalas.

Lightly roast 4 tbsp dhania ( corriander ) seeds, 1 tbsp cumin ( jeera) , 1 tsp cloves, 1/2 stick of cinnamon, 1 tsp peppercorns and 2 bay leaves. Roast till it gives off a nutty aroma.
Cool and powder. Store in an airtight container. Use in gujarati dishes such as stuffed baingan (brinjals,aubergines) / bhindi ( okra, lady fingers) , potato gravy, sprouts etc.
