Using Whole Spices: Place all the whole spices in a clean spice grinder (see note) and grind until fine. Add paprika and pulse to combine. Use a fine-mesh strainer to remove any coarse pieces.
Using Ground Spices: If you already have the ground form of the spices, you may simply combine the ground spices in the specified quantities. Use a ratio of 3 parts for each whole spice - [black pepper, ground coriander, ground cumin, ground cinnamon, ground cardamon, grouch nutmeg, ground cloves (or ½ cloves + ½ allspice)] and 5 parts paprika.
Store freshly ground baharat spice mix in airtight glass containers in a cool, dark place. Use within 3 months or vacuum seal for longer shelf life.
