• 1 tbsp Cumin
• 1 tbsp Coriander
• 1 tbsp Ground rose petals

Advieh for Rice Pilaf

• 4 tbsp Rose petals dried
• 2 tbsp cinnamon
• 2 tbsp Cumin
• 1 tbsp Cardamom
• 1 tsp Cloves or nutmeg

Advieh for Soup

• 2 tbsp Coriander
• 2 tbsp Cumin
• 1/2 tbsp Black Pepper
• 1 tsp Fenugreek leaves dried
• 1/2 tsp Cloves
• 1/8 tsp Nutmeg
• 1/8 tsp cinnamon

Advieh for Fish

• 2 tbsp Coriander
• 2 tbsp Cumin
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tbsp Turmeric
• 1/2 tbsp Black Pepper
• 1/2 tbsp Red chili flakes
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp Fenugreek leaves dried

Advieh for Stew

• 4 tbsp Coriander
• 2 tbsp Rose petals dried
• 1 tbsp cinnamon
• 1 tbsp Dried lime (seeds removed)
• 4 tsp Cumin
• 2 tsp Cardamom
• 2 tsp Black Pepper
• 1/2 tbsp Cloves or star anise
• 1/8 tsp Nutmeg

Instructions

 

• If you have ground spices, simply mix them in a bowl. If you have whole spices, grind them in a spice grinder or mortar and pestle, mix together and keep in an airtight container.
• If you wanted to get really adventurous, you could toast the whole spices until fragrant in a cast iron pan and then grind them to a powder. I would not toast the rose petals, dried limes or fenugreek though, as they will burn easily and ruin the mixture.

Notes

This mix smells awesome, but it smells better than it tastes right out of the jar. It'll be bitter if you just taste the raw spices, but after you make something with it, you'll be hooked!
