What are your personal recommendations for me as I make Makbous dajaj tomorrow?!
I will be going to an Arab grocery store in the morning for two ingredients that I need to pick up. I am not looking for your personal recipe - just your recommendations on personal spices.
I am from California and I love the spices of the American Southwest. I can promise you based on people I live with that I cannot use curry (the Kuwaiti version doesn't call for that anyhow). We love spice; but, I do have to use moderation. Believe me when I say I have eaten some of the most exotic and hot spice in some very exotic locations on our good globe - I merely have to think of those around me.
Inta Shokran!
Answers: I am using a Kuwaiti recipe (inspired by a previous question I answered) I obtained while in the middle east - and I haven't had this in alot of years. (I can taste it now!) I am opened to suggestions and personal recommendations. I am making this on my charcoal barbecue tomorrow as this dish is normally cooked over coal.

Well, I'm a vegetarian, so the chicken would be out for me; I've seen it on menus before, though, and from what I understand, the important spices to have are cardamom and cinnamon.
Let me know how it turns out!
Wow...I've never made anything like this, but upon a little research I see Cardamom and allspice as some main ingredients. Can you pass along the recipe you use after you use it? I would love to try it out!!!!!
Gerry, do you have a "Penzey's" store?? I use what is called "Vindaloo" spice....it has all the traditinal mix.......
Yummy and SPICY!!!
Have a great night!
Reenie
I've had enough drinks..... good luck buddy!
Garlic, as you probably are already aware, goes with almost anything that is considered to be "spicy".
And you didn't mention "Turmeric": usually, a must.
