- 4 cinnamon (3-inch sticks) (or 8 tsp ground cinnamon)
- 2 tbsp black peppercorns (or 9 tsp ground black pepper)
- 2 tbsp cumin seeds (or 7 ½ tsp ground cumin)
- 2 tbsp coriander seeds (or 7 ½ tsp ground coriander)
- 2 tbsp sumac
- 2 tbsp ground sweet paprika
- 1 tbsp ground allspice
- 1 tsp ground cardamom
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
Toast the cinnamon sticks, black peppercorns, cumin and coriander seeds in a sauté pan. Remove from the heat and add to a spice or coffee grinder to create a powder. Set aside and allow to cool.
In a small bowl, add the sumac, paprika, allspice, cardamom, clove, and nutmeg. Whisk in the ground, toasted spices and transfer to a glass container with a tight fitting lid.
Store in your spice cabinet and it will last about 3 months, after that the potency diminishes. Makes about 3/4 cup.
