    • Hi Rinki
      Baharat powder is a Middle eastern spice mix very used in many of their dishes. It is like our garam masala and is made by different grinding together different spices such as cloves, cardamom, nutmeg, cinnamon, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, black pepper and paprika. It enhances the flavor of the dish.
