Dukkah Recipe – An Egyptian Spice Mix
Dukkah recipe – an Egyptian spice mix, is an all time favourite in my house. Dukkah is also known as “Duqqa” or “Dukka”. This special spice blend is made with sesame seeds, cumin, fennel and coriander seeds. I promise that you will be enchanted by the toasty smell of sesame and all the others spices. Once you grind it, store it in a glass jar. Sprinkle on soups, salads or dals! This blend will change the flavour of your meals. This spice blend is similar to Gomasio or gomashio,a seasoning commonly used in Japanese rice dishes.
