Notes
- Baharat spices go well with chicken, lamb, beef and seafood dishes. It can also be applied directly to the surface of meat, poultry or fish before cooking to add flavour.
- Storing - transfer baharat seasoning to a sealed container and keep in a cool dry place. The flavour will become milder over time so although it will keep for up to a year try to use it within a month.
