According to Wikipedia,
"Bahārāt is a spice mixture or blend used in Arab cuisine, especially in the Mashriq area, as well as in Turkish and Iranian cuisine.
Bahārāt is the Arabic word for 'spices' (the plural form of bahār'spice'). The mixture of finely ground spices is often used to season lamb, fish, chicken, beef, and soups and may be used as a condiment."
I loved the aroma of the spices in it.
