Ras al Hanout-1.5oz./42.5g tin-This is my special Moroccan blend of over 20 different herbs and spices such as: grains of paradise, dried rose buds, lavender and saffron etc... This amazingly fragrant and savory spice blend is a must for a tagine or other Moroccan dishes. It remains one of the most expensive spice mixtures due to the many exotic spices and amounts of saffron that it contains.

/i/gp1205/tn_tandooripic.JPG Tandoori Blend-1.50oz./42.5g tin-Tandoori blend is my mix of Indian spices for delicious Tandoori-style grilled chicken, lamb or pork. It is mildly spiced, yet rich in aromatic flavors. Mix a few tablespoons into some Greek or regular yogurt, add a tsp. of salt and marinate then meat for a few hours then grill over a medium charcoal fire until done.   
/i/gp1205/tn_garampic.JPG Garam Masala-1.5oz/42.5g tin-Garam Masala is an Indian spice blend containing so-called "sweet spices" like cinnamon, cardamom ,cloves etc and is commonly added to a curry near the end of cooking to give a flavor "boost" It lacks the turmeric and spiciness of a curry powder.

Moderately spicy but with a wonderfully sweet undertone of cloves and cinnamon makes it a vital addition to your ethnic spice pantry.- NEW
/i/globalpic2/tn_za_atar3.jpg Global Palate Za'atar-1.5oz/42.5g tin- Za'atar or Zahtar is the ubiquitous herb blend used all over the Middle East from Israel to Syria and everywhere in between. My blend leans a bit more towards the Israeli style with its fragrant thyme and orégano herb notes lightened by the addition of sumac, lemon peel, sea salt and sesame seed.-NEW
