Live to Cook, you answered an aroma puzzle for me: I was trying to think of what garam masala reminded me of, and five spice powder was it.

Suvir- of course! He arrived just in time to help me learn.

Funny you should mention Penzey's. That was where I was heading when I was tempted to go to the Indian food store where I bought the spice. Since I have to pick up some things at Penzey's anyway, I'll buy some of theirs and compare.

In the mean time, I'm going to try a bit sprinkled on my coffee grounds before brewing tomorrow. Should be tasty.
