Indian spice blends work wonders on basic ground meat and rice, turning them into a tasty cultural mashup bowl. This Blackstone dish brings together the rich warmth of garam masala with sweet mango chutney, building flavor layers that transform everyday items into something special.
I stumbled upon how amazingly garam masala and mango chutney work together at a cooking class. The sweet fruity chutney perfectly balances out the warm spice mix.
Key Components
- Newly bought garam masala - the flavor fades in old spices
- Good mango chutney brings needed sweetness
- Basmati rice's unique aroma works great with these spices
Cooking Instructions
- Getting The Griddle Ready
- Get your Blackstone nice and hot first
- Spread a thin coat of oil everywhere
- Set up your ingredients in sections around the cooking area
- Building Taste
- Brown meat with veggies until golden edges form

My kitchen secret: I store my garam masala in a tight container somewhere cool and dark so it stays potent longer.
