Super! I have long wanted to make the mixtures myself, but here it is!
By the way, the mixture that goes with tea, this trio has a very strong immunostimulating agent for the prevention of, for example, colds and flu in the winter!
Thank you!

Strange, this hawaij is for sale here. I was always sure that it was just ground cardamom ...

And for me it was a revelation that before grinding spices, they should be fried.

I love spices, their mixtures and stir up different new (especially exotic) options! Loved this idea! Thank you

Super!!! Thank you for another opportunity to diversify our dishes!

And I was surprised that even the seemingly ordinary mushroom puree soup - and that is prepared with hawaja!
Of course, for a start, I would not stand 2 tablespoons of the mixture in a saucepan of soup, I need a habit, but a pinch to pour in, see how it will play, is quite possible

Caprice - then maybe you got a coffee option there, hefty cardamom

For me, it was generally incomprehensible to the fact that the same word "Hawaij" is used to refer to completely different sets of spices - some for food, and others for drinks

This is probably how everything in India is masala (and garam-masala and tea-masala)

The way it is. We sell hawij for coffee (Yemenis drink coffee with hawij. I tried it, it is very invigorating with a minimum of coffee itself and differs significantly from Arab coffee with cardamom (hel)) and hawij for soups. To be honest, I didn't really understand this seasoning either. All these oriental gadgets in my family are not very favored, therefore I do not bother too much with this.

Just throwing spices into coffee is not entirely true. You need to know exactly which spices, and how much, and in what order and in what proportions they are put in coffee. Otherwise, you will just get a very unpleasant, and, therefore, unacceptable drink for the taste sensations of a European person (and, perhaps, not only a European one).
With spices, in general, you should be very careful IMHO.

I don't just add little to drinking, but I add microscopically little, otherwise we won't be able to drink, so yes, everything is very subtle for our unusual taste buds.

And for food, I like to try different options, but I generally hardly accept most ready-made mixtures - due to intolerance to some spices.
For example, I used to buy ready-made bags with Curry and out of 4 companies I liked only one more or less, and that I took 1/8 tsp only to create a light shade.

This is good - to collect the mixture yourself - you can always reduce the dosage of unloved herbs or spices.

That's for sure
In support of this, I found information that a hawaj will be prepared in the market or in a spice shop for a certain dish - separately for soup, separately for chicken, separately for other meat ...

julifera! Mixtures smell. During the preparation process, the question arose: is the cinnamon taken ground or is it better to grind it from sticks? and what is the best way to do it?

I take already ground

Clear. I tried to partially grind (in a mill and in a mortar), and then I also added ground
