For a milder Garam Masala, reduce or omit the red chile peppers. Feel free to adjust the proportions of the spices to suit your personal preferences. For the best flavor, use freshly toasted spices. If you don't have a spice grinder, you can use a mortar and pestle, but it will require significantly more effort.
