Now that we have the ingredients for our shawarma seasoning, we can make the mix. That is actually very simple.
Prepare a bowl and measure the herbs at a time. When you have measured it, put it in the bowl. When all the herbs have been measured and are in the bowl, it is a matter of mixing well.
If you left out the salt, you can add it later or now, when everything is mixed.

How Much Shawarma Spices To Add?
The amount of shawarma herbs you use depends on your dish. I assume that this is for at least 2 people, then you first add 1 tablespoon of the spice mix. Always start with a small amount, because you can always add more.
Stir it well. Now comes the most important part of cooking with herbs: taste! Take a bite and taste if it has the taste you want. If it’s not spicy enough, add another amount and taste again. Do this until it gives your taste buds a boost, then you’ve added enough spices.
Use Shawarma Herbs Differently
