that's a lot of spices! LOL. is this the same as baharat?
Hi burekaboy,
We call spices in Arabic baharat.
Every home in the Gulf region is characterized by make their own mix spices.
You right we use a lot of spices in gulf area and that what make our dishes so unusual and unique.

thanks for the answer :) same idea as indian garam masala, every family or region has its own mix. i actually have a bag of baharat in my freezer from dubai from my friend's mother i need to use up!
I made a batch of this Gulf spice mix, and now use it when making any middle eastern dishes that call for a mix of spices. This is so similar to the India garam amsala. Thanks for the recipe! I used it when preparing the meat for Lissan al kadi....
Ladies, I just used this spice mix again for chicken mansaf - this time I actually posted it on my blog - thanks for the spice recipe!
