HAWAIJ -- HAWAYEJ -- HAWAIEGE -- YEMENI SPICE MIXTURE

There's a history lesson in this spice blend: Yemen and India were stops on the ancient trade route, so this turmeric-based mix bears a resemblance to some Indian masalas. Hawaij is used extensively by Yemenite Jews in Israel and its use has spread more widely into Israeli cuisine as a result. The basic mixture for soup is also used in stews, curry-style dishes, rice and vegetables dishes and even as a barbecue rub.

HAWAIJ - YEMENI SPICE MIX

Hawaij - Yemeni Spice Mix image

Hawaij is the name of the Yemeni spice mix which is used in a lot of popular dishes. It is especially essential to meat dishes of any kind and broths. You can buy it in the market in Yemen and you might find it in Arab markets in international cities. One advantage to making it fresh is that it is so much more potent. You can also change the ratio of the spices a little if you prefer. This recipe is a little different from the one posted on here already.
