According to SAEDNEWS: chicken can be used in preparing a wide variety of dishes. However, what truly brings out an exceptional flavor in these meals is a special chicken spice mix.
Red chili powder – ½ tablespoon
Black pepper powder – ½ tablespoon
Coriander seeds – 5 tablespoons
Green cardamom – 3 pods (if large and with seeds, 2 pods are enough)
Ground green cumin – 2 tablespoons
Turmeric – 2.5 tablespoons
Sea salt – ½ teaspoon
Table salt – 1 tablespoon
Onion powder – 1.5 tablespoons
Garlic powder – 1 tablespoon
Cinnamon – 1.5 tablespoons
Ginger powder – 1 tablespoon
Toast the Seeds:
Warm a pan over low heat. Add the coriander seeds and toast for 1 minute, stirring every 10 seconds to prevent burning. Then add the cardamom pods and toast for an additional 30 seconds. Grind both together.
Mix the Spices:
Reheat the pan slightly on low heat. Add the ground coriander and cardamom. Then add all the remaining spices to the pan and mix them gently on low heat. Turn off the heat — the goal is just to warm and combine them, not to fry the spices.
Final Touch:
Your spice mix is ready! Store it in an airtight container.
If you prefer a completely fine powder, you can give it a few short pulses in a grinder at this stage.
This homemade spice blend will elevate the flavor of any chicken dish and eliminate the usual repetitive taste.
