For 12 teaspoons

Large batch

Small batch

Equipment

  • Small bowl
  • Airtight jar

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Mix the spices together in a small bowl.

  2. Step 2: Store the blend in an airtight jar in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months. Its shelf life depends on the freshness of the spices.

Notes

Sprinkle Baharat on vegetables before roasting, or season chicken, lamb chops or fish with it before pan-frying or barbecuing.

You can use Baharat in place of the spices in Middle Eastern and Arabic kofta recipes: add up the spices and use that total amount of Baharat instead, without counting the salt.
