Seasoning mix for Eritrean dishes (e.g. Zigni)
Dry roast the spice seeds in a pan for a few minutes. Allow to cool and add the remaining spices. Grind everything finely in a coffee grinder. Can be stored in a sealed container as a spice mix. To make things easier, you can also use the following variant: Mix all the spices together in ground form and dry roast them in a pan. This eliminates the need for grinding. The spice mix is used, for example, in the Eritrean dish Zigni and gives it its well-known flavor. There are many different versions and homemade recipes for the Berbere spice mix. Simply vary the spices until you get a mix that suits your personal taste. In addition to the spices listed above, many recipes also include 2 teaspoons of cumin and 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder. I would be delighted if you would share your alternative spice mixes with us in the comments section.
