Hawaij is essential to the cuisine of Yemen - use it liberally as a rub for grilled meat, poultry, seafood, and vegetables. Try it sprinkled into soups, stews, sauces, and rice to liven the flavours up a bit!

Ingredients

6 1/2 tablespoons black peppercorns
1/4 cup cumin seed
2 1/2 tablespoons coriander seeds
1 1/2 tablespoons green cardamom pods
1 1/2 teaspoons whole cloves
3 1/2 tablespoons ground turmeric

Directions

1
Put everything except the turmeric into a frying pan & dry fry (no oil required) for a couple of minutes.
2
Allow to cool, grind using a spice / coffee grinder or mortar & pestle. Add the turmer, mix well & store in an container in a cool, dark place.

Oh...the spicy aroma... it filled my kitchen. DH was mmmmm ing when he walked in. I used it on chicken....and oh...the flavour!!! I have not had any experience in Yemen cooking...but this (as my first venture) is more than enough for me to delve deeper into their cooking. I would love to find recipes (to start) that incorporate this mixture. Thank you Um Safia for sharing. I made this for The Alphabet Soup tag game.
