Spices have always been the essence of Indian cuisine with the famous garam masala crowning the list. Literally meaning “hot mixture”, it is a wonderful blend of the most aromatic and flavorful Indian spices, and is used not only in India but in many Asian countries and even worldwide.
Although garam masala components may vary, a traditional mix is based on cinnamon, cloves, cumin, nutmeg and cardamom. In addition to that, it may include dried red chilies, black peppercorns, coriander, ginger powder, bay leaves, mace, fennel, fenugreek seeds, and dried garlic. There is really no best recipe for it, as every particular blend has its own special flavor and may or may not be preferred by each individual cook.

Croatian cuisine is sometimes known as “the cuisine of regions”, since each part of Croatia has its own distinct culinary traditions, and influences from its neighbors. The cookery of coastal regions shows influences from Roman, Illyrian and Greek cuisine, Italian cuisine, and even French cuisine, whereas inland areas get their influences from Viennese and Austrian cuisine, Hungarian cuisine and Turkish cuisine.
Some popular Croatian dishes include:
- Juha od Mahuna - A vegetable soup made from green beans, as well as carrots, lentils, onions and peas.
- Brudet - Fish stew, served with polenta (boiled cornmeal)
