Baharat is an Arab spice mix. It comes in different combinations depending on the country. You can choose any combination you like but it should mostly contain:
- fresh ground black pepper
- paprika
- ground cumin
- ground coriander
- ground cloves
The ingredients above should form the bulk of the mixture however Baharat should also contain a little bit of:
- nutmeg
- ground cinnamon
- ground cardamom
There are many different recipes for Baharat spice mixture. This is the one I settled on. It makes two tablespoons – which is enough for most recipes without leaving any spare.
