Hi all,

any suggestions for a substitute for cardamom in Garam Masala? Spouse is allergic to it (not the "don't like" sort of allergy, the excessive activity at both ends, blisters all over sort). So curry houses are a no-no and I'm about to try to up my game on the homemade ones. Garam Masala seems to be used in pretty much everything and cardamom has been in every mix I've seen. Not sure whether I can just leave it out of my own or if there's an obvious replacement...
 
Try one of the curry's that use a base sauces on youtube who make them from Individual spices so yopu can leave out or substitute them for other spices.
MistyRicardo is a good one he even has his own books now
 
This is Dan Toombs Garam Masala mix.
Full of cardomom, so not sure what you’d get if you omit / swap it?

I know this doesn’t answer the question but it might help you towards making your own cardomomless Garam Masala…
