My favorite kitchen hack: I store my garam masala in a sealed container somewhere cool and dark to keep those fragrant oils fresh.
Getting The Best From Your Blackstone
Arrange everything on one tray before you start cooking. The griddle gets hot enough to create that perfect browning.
Personalizing Your Bowl
Feel free to swap in chicken, lamb, or veggie protein alternatives. This spice combo tastes great with pretty much anything.
Managing Heat Levels
Stick with medium heat so your spices can release flavor without burning.
