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.

Oven Baked Breaded Chicken Cutlets/Shnitzel, Egg Free, Gluten Free
