How to Make Saudi Kabsa Spice Mix

  1. Toast the whole spices in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.
  2. Add the toasted spices to a spice grinder or mortar and pestle.
  3. Grind the spices until finely crushed but not powdery. A slightly coarse texture is ideal.
  4. Sift the spice mix through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any large pieces. (Optional)
  5. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Use as needed in your favorite Kabsa recipes.
