Garam Masala

I don't know if they eat oatmeal in India, but if they did I imagine it would taste like today's bowl of oatmeal. I spiced my morning oats with garam masala spices, and added coconut and dates. I cooked these all slowly for an hour, then topped it off with a bit of goat milk yogurt.

If you can't find premixed garam masala, here are the ingredients:

Cinnamon
Nutmeg
Cardamom
Cloves
Ginger
Black Pepper
White Pepper
Cayenne
Cumin

This is one of my favorite spice blends. It's just a really warm and rich flavor.
