*Garam Masala is available in specialty stores and many larger grocery stores. You can use curry powder instead if you wish, or you could even make your own garam masala.
**Place cheesecloth or paper coffee filter in a strainer over a small bowl. Spoon yogurt into strainer, place in refrigerator for at least two hours to allow excess liquid to drain away. The longer you can leave it, the thicker the yogurt will become.
