Leading busy lives and with so many hours in a day, it can be challenging to keep our home in order. What is often behind closed doors and out of sight can quickly become unorganized and chaotic. One of these doors is our bedroom closet. At some point in their life,...
Inspired by my travels, my palate is always happy to discover some new spices and spice blends. While living in New York, doing an internship at Saveur Magazine, I did not have to travel very far to come across this fragrant combination that just stuck with me. The one mix in their pantry came from Kalustyan’s shop on Lexington Avenue, where I ended up going a few many times! I love all the ingredients separately, so combined, it takes it to the next level.
Baharat is an Arabic word meaning Indian Spice Mixture, and depending on which country you find yourself in, the combination may vary slightly, and the variety can be endless. In Turkey, they will add a large quantity of mint, while in Tunisia, the blend might become a mix of rosebuds and cinnamon. A typical recipe will include Paprika, Black Pepper, Cumin Seeds, Cinnamon, Cloves, Coriander seeds, Nutmeg, and Cardamom pods. Deep and aromatic, we can use this all-purpose fragrant Middle Eastern blend as a rub for chicken and fish, flavor soups, rice dishes, and casseroles, or as a condiment sprinkled over hummus.
Like the one from Kalustyan’s, my recipe omits the Paprika, mixing seven spices, making it an excellent essential aromatic blend to have on hands. You can be a purist and make the recipe from whole spices, be a little faster in the kitchen by using already grounded ones, or get it already done for you. No wrong answer. The choice is yours.

If using ground spices:
In a small bowl, mix all the spices with a small whisk. Even easier, put them all in a small jar, close the lid, and shake well for a few seconds. Voila.
If using whole spices:
Place all spices in a mortar and break them into as fine a powder as possible with the pestle. If you have a spice grinder, you can place all the spices in it and grind until fine. Your arm will thank you.
Yield 5 ¼ Tsp Baharat Mixture. Store the extra in a small jar for future recipes.
