For Your Spice Rack: Meghazlia Spice Mix
It took me a while to finally make Eman’s Lamb Meghazlia, mainly because I needed to mix the meghazlia spice mix myself. Since I have some lamb in the freezer I really needed to get rid of, I set aside some time today to make this spice mix.
What took me a while to figure out was the “besbasa Indian” listed in Eman’s ingredients list. After some research I thought what she was asking for was bisbas, a spicy Yemeni spice mix, and that was what I used to make my current batch of meghazlia. While sitting around researching this spice a bit more, I realized that besbasa was another name for mace. So my meghazlia spice mix is most probably going to be quite different from Eman’s. Sigh. Anyway, I’ve noted down both my version and Eman’s version, for my future reference.
