Ingredients

200 grams black pepper
200 grams cinnamon
200 grams nutmeg
200 grams cubeb (from Arab grocers) aka piper cubeba
100 grams ground cardamom
100 grams ground ginger
10 grams cloves
5 grams saffron

Method

Step 1

Please ensure you are buying fresh ingredients from an Arab grocer - the spices you buy in regular supermarkets will not be as fresh or as strong!

Step 2

If you are using whole spice, pound each spice until it is a powder. Otherwise simply mix your spices and use! You can store your mix in a jar for 2-3 months (it will keep longer if you refrigerate it).

Step 3

You may like to add your fresh Baharat to your Biryani, grilled meats, soups, in marinades or sprinkling over vegetables before roasting.
