Homemade Baharat Spice Blend Recipe

In the past while, I've explored many different cuisines from around the world, and one thing I've noticed is that most of them tend to have a mix of spices, often similar spices, that are staples in their cuisine. Chili powder in Tex Mex cooking, garam masala in Indian cooking, hawaij in Yemenite cooking, berbere in Ethiopian cooking, etc...  If you went through the list of ingredients in those spice mixtures, each of those would have a large overlap.
I recently discovered this spice mixture called Baharat. Its an Arabic spice blend that, to be honest, reminds me a lot of garam masala. In fact, one day I made something with garam masala for supper, and the next day for lunch served a dish with baharat, and my husband thought it was the same thing! ;) He doesn't have the most refined taste buds. But at the same time, I could see where he was coming from. The flavor of baharat spice mix is like garam masala. Mixed with regular curry powder. And chili powder. And hawaij.
Basically, it's good. If you like the various spices within, and like these other spice mixtures that I've mentioned, you're sure to like this one as well.

Baharat is used on chicken, meat, fish, in stews, soups, sauces, etc...
Try it out. You won't regret it!
P.S. The recipe usually contains black pepper. I left it out. I'd rather add heat to my food separately from the rest of the seasonings.
