Simple Persian Spice Mixture - Advieh


Ingredients :

1 Teaspoon  Ground Cinnamon
1/4 Teaspoon  Ground Cardamon
1/4 Teaspoon  Ground Cloves
1/4 Teaspoon  Ground Ginger

Preparation Method :

Mix everything together & store in jar w/tight cover for use when needed.

Makes 1 3/4 teaspoons

AuthorNote : The Chinese have a mix called five-spice and Indians have garam masala. The Persian advieh is an aromatic mixture that can be heightened by doubling amount of ginger. I prefer proportions given here, which are balanced & will intensify herb flavor in various dishes to which it is added.
