Servings: 100 ml
Prep Time5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp paprika - ground
  • 1 tbsp cumin - ground
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp black pepper - ground
  • 2 tsp coriander seed - ground
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp turmeric - ground, optional as mainly for colour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon - ground

Chicken Shish Kebab Seasoning (as above adding an extra)

  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  • Gather your ingredients and put everything in a clean, dry bowl.
    1 tbsp paprika, 1 tbsp cumin, 2 tsp salt, 2 tsp black pepper, 2 tsp coriander seed, 2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp turmeric, 1 tsp cinnamon
  • Mix together thoroughly.
  • Transfer your kebab seasoning mix to a clean dry jar with a lid that fits tightly. If you have a jam funnel, this will help to avoid any spillage.
  • Seal and store in a cool, dark place, ready to use in all your kebab marinades.

Notes

Unless you have a really good blender, it's best to buy ready ground spices here. They will have a better texture on the finished kebabs. If everything is ground to about the same consistency, the contents of the jar won't separate as they settle.
Generally speaking, the fresher your spices, the better.
If you will mostly be making chicken kebabs double the turmeric and cinnamon.
