Pastrami is a popular deli meat made from a highly seasoned cut of smoked meat--usually beef. To make pastrami, one usually begins with a slab of uncooked meat. That meat is typically first pickled in a thick, salty, brine solution, which creates, when using red meat, what is known as corned beef.
Garam masala is a spice blend that is a staple in Indian cooking. The name literally translates to âhot spiceâ in Hindi, but it is actually not hot at all. It is a warm, fragrant, and complex blend made primarily from cardamom, fennel, cumin, cassia (a relative of cinnamon), cloves, nutmeg, coriander, and peppercorns. Garam masala is earthy, sweet, and slightly spicy. The âhotâ refers to the fact that the spices in garam masala are believed to elevate oneâs body temperature, according to Ayurvedic medicine. It is also believed to aid in promoting weight loss, relieving bloating and heartburn, lowering blood sugar, and more.
