You can play around with the spices in this recipe. I made it over Christmas and had to make do without a couple of them. Very yummy, pretty easy to make.

Also, if you're not near an Indian grocer where you can get Garam Masala, you can make it at home with a pepper mill/grinder, using:

Black pepper 20 grams
Cloves 10 grams
Cinnamon 20 grams
Brown cardamom 15 grams
Cumin seeds 10 grams
Bay leaves 10 grams
Coriander seeds 5 grams
