How to Make Advieh


To enjoy the unique flavours and aromas of Middle Eastern cuisine at home, this easy-to-make Advieh is just the thing. Using a blend of traditional spices, it takes just minutes to make!

Ingredients: (makes about 5-6 tbsp)

3 tbsp coriander seeds (cilantro)
2 tbsp cumin seeds
1 tbsp black cardamom pods
1 tbsp black peppercorns
2 tsp ginger powder
2 tsp grated nutmeg
1 x 3 inch piece cinnamon

tbsp = tablespoon
tsp = teaspoon

Directions:

  • Break up the cinnamon and remove the seeds from the cardamom pods. Discard the husks

  • Grind the cinnamon and cardamom along with the peppercorns, cumin and coriander seeds

  • Sieve into a bowl

  • Stir in the ginger and nutmeg. Combine thoroughly

    That's all there is to it!

    Store in an airtight container out of direct sunlight and use within 3 months.

    Note: Dry toasting the whole spices before grinding is worth doing for even more flavours and aromas. See below for info on this.






    How to Toast and Grind

    A few people have asked how I toast and grind whole spices. It's really very easy...

  • Over a medium heat add your spices to a dry pan

  • Whilst stirring or shaking the pan; toast for a few minutes

  • When they start to darken and you can really smell their aromas, they're ready

  • Remove from the heat and let cool before grinding

    Have a quick look at these links below, and don't worry if you know nothing about website building. I certainly didn't...
