Hawaij Recipe - Yemeni Spice Mix

Heat whole spices (coriander seeds, cumin seeds, black peppercorns, green cardamom pods, cloves) in a pan over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant.

Let the toasted spices cool.

Grind the cooled spices in a spice grinder or coffee grinder until smooth.

Run the ground spice mixture through a fine sieve to remove any large pieces, especially cardamom pod shells.

Add turmeric to the ground spice mixture.

Store the spice mix in a glass spice jar or wrap in plastic bags for gifting.
