With a well-stocked spice cabinet, you can develop your own Baharat recipe. A good base to start from is:

  • 4 parts black pepper
  • 3 parts ground coriander seed
  • 3 parts cinnamon
  • 3 parts ground cloves
  • 4 parts ground cumin
  • 1 part cardamom pods
  • 3 parts nutmeg
  • 6 parts paprika

If your cabinet has whole spice seeds rather than powders, grind seeds before blending the mixture.

 

On the internet, you will find many variations on this typical recipe.

  • Allrecipes adds star anise to the blend and different portions for the basic ingredients. 
  • Daringgourmet.com and food.com stick to the eight basics, but each with different proportions of the ingredients.
