baharat

a persian spice mix - you can get it from some specialist middle-eastern suppliers, or you can make your own version, it might not pass the test with persians but i love it

• 4 parts black peppercorns 
• 3 parts coriander seeds
• 3 parts cinnamon
• 3 parts cloves
• 4 parts cumin seeds 
• 1 part cardamom * 
• 3 parts nutmeg
• 6 parts paprika 

grind in a coffee grinder, unless you have the energy to use a pestle and mortar!

* I have green and black so I use a mix of whole green ones and seeds from the black ones 

I have no idea if it is parts by weight or by volume so I did it by weight
