Baharat spice blend
Ingredients
1 tbsp cumin seeds *
2 tsp coriander seeds *
½ tsp whole cloves *
1 tbsp black peppercorns *
1 tsp shelled green cardamom pods *
½ cinnamon stick
Good grating of nutmeg - maybe 12 grates
2 tsp paprika
½ tsp ground allspice
* these are whole spices, if you would rather, use just ground spices, use just ¾ tsp of ground to every 1 tsp of whole
Method
In a small frying pan, dry-roast the whole spices until you can smell the aromatic aromas (1-2 minutes). You should put them in the pan and move them constantly to stop them from burning. Remove from the pan and grind to a powder. Combine with the remaining ingredients.
If you are using all ground spices then just combine all spices.
Keep in a small jar with a tight fitting lid.
