I have a recipe that calls for garam masala.
I know it's a blend of dry spices but there are soo many different recipes for it
that i don't know which one to use. Each one has some variation of spices.

Is there a traditional standard list of spices I should go by?

Is this one of those things that's a bit different depending on which part of the country you're in?

Whatever it is, sounds delicious.

My favorite Indian cart closed :( fortunately there are others nearby.

The closest thing is AALO CHANNA with lot of gravy. But it is usually in main course. So I am not sure what soup is he trying to cook.

OP, if you run to Indian store, you will find ready made spices labelled GARAM MASALA by EVEREST or MDR. They are pretty good.

Curry and some masalas?

Sounds okay but bit expensive. Are you looking for gourmet spices or just regular spices?

the little bottle they sell would probably last me a lifetime, so it's not soo bad.

I only need 1/4 tsp. for this recipe

The Spice House is a great store -- I've been to the Evanston, Il location and was thoroughly impressed. Their gift boxes are good too!
