Title: Bezar Spice Mix - Bezar Masala
Categories: Arabic, Spice, Mixes
Servings: 1 batch

5 Dry Red chillies
15 g Turmeric powder

Bezar is a spice mixture mainly used in Middle East countries. This
is a traditional Arabic Spice blend. It is also know as Omani Spice
mix used in Arabian cooking. It can be used to make stews, non veg
and as well as veg, fish etc. This is like the garam masala that is
used in India. Its very flavorful and aromatic; the spices are first
roasted then pounded together. Once the bezar has been prepared, it
can be kept in an airtight container and refrigerated, and it will
remain fresh for a year.
Dry roast all ingredients (except turmeric) one by one until they
turn aromatic. Take care not to burn any of the spices or you will
get smoky charred smell.
Let everything cool down to room temperature and grind to a fine
powder. Stored in an airtight container, the mix will keep for up to
12 months, I have refrigerated it to preserve the color and flavor
of the spice mix.
